Although Sneijder came through the Ajax youth academy, he is not a native of Amsterdam. He was born in Utrecht, the same city Jan Wouters and Marco van Basten come from. He hails from a football family: his father was a talented player and his older brother Jeffrey plays for Stormvogels Telstar. There's also a younger Sneijder brother who is likely to turn professional. These fraternal rivalries might have fuelled Sneijder's competitive spirit - a tenacity which has seen journalists christen him the 'pitbull with patience'.

Sneijder made his debut for Ajax in a 2-0 win at SC Excelsior on 22 December 2002 when trainer Ronald Koeman, troubled by an injury-filled squad called him up, advised by Danny Blind, the then-coach of the Ajax youth-squad. He rapidly established himself in the role of midfield general. Despite his slight stature, he is strong on the ball and his passing range is enhanced by his two-footedness.

He's been a regular in the Dutch international squad since Marco van Basten took over as coach.
