Encyclopedia
Andy van der Meijde, anglicised to van der Meyde (ˈɛndi vɑn dər ˈmɛi̯də; born 30 September 1979), is a Dutch
former footballer who played as a right winger.
After making a name for himself at Ajax, he went on to represent Internazionale
and Everton
, his spell at the latter club being cut due to several problems, both on and off the pitch.
A Dutch international

, Gelderland
, Van der Meyde signed for AFC Ajax as a youngster, and made his first team debut aged just 18, helping his side to a 1–0 win against FC Twente
on 12 November 1997. In 1999, in order to gain first-team experience, he was loaned to Twente for one season, and was an undisputed starter for a team that finished sixth in the Eredivisie
.
It would be in the 2001–02 season that Van der Meyde established himself as first-choice at Ajax. After a turbulent start, Ronald Koeman
was instated as head coach, and the player became an integral part in the rebuilding of the team, making the right-winger position his own. The season ended in huge success as the Amsterdam
outfit conquered the double, with him scoring five times in the league.
In 2002–03, Van der Meyde - playing alongside the likes of youngsters as Mido, Zlatan Ibrahimović
, Rafael van der Vaart
, Wesley Sneijder
, Steven Pienaar
and Cristian Chivu
- scored a career-best 11 goals, while also helping Ajax to the quarterfinals in the UEFA Champions League

, for £2 million. On 25 March 2006, in his first Merseyside derby
against Liverpool
, he received a straight red card
for his challenge on Liverpool's Xabi Alonso
, in a 1–3 away loss.
In the summer of 2006, Van der Meyde proved once again to be the centre of much speculation regarding his future, having failed to properly settle at Everton, making only 10 appearances in his first season thanks to a combination of injuries and rumours of alcoholism
. He staunchly denied any such allegations and reaffirmed his commitment to Everton in June 2006, stating
Van der Meyde was admitted to hospital in the early hours of 7 August, with breathing problems. It was claimed that his drink had been spiked
whilst in a bar in Liverpool. He was fined by Everton for breach of discipline and, to further add to a miserable week, his house was burgled during Everton's friendly with Athletic Bilbao
five days later: his Ferrari
, Mini Cooper, and dog were amongst the items stolen. The cars and pet dog were later found, although the Ferrari had its windscreen smashed. In March 2007, the player accused manager David Moyes
of telling 'downright lies' in regard to his fitness, but apologised afterwards.
In July 2007, Van der Meyde played a full 90 minutes in Coleraine
, Northern Ireland
. In arguably his most successful pre-season at the club, he went on to complete several friendly matches

On 17 August 2007, Van der Meyde was suspended following a 'breach of club discipline', because he had failed to appear at training, being fined two weeks' wages, a total of £50,000. The player appealed for "understanding from the club and fans" due to the personal situation he was facing, with his five-month old daughter Dolce not being allowed to leave the hospital since her birth due to illness; following this, he did not make an appearance for the main squad for over a year, being limited to just reserve team football.
On 7 December 2008, Van der Meyde returned to first-team football, playing five minutes for an injury-hit Everton side in a 2–3 home defeat against Aston Villa
. The following month, he was brought on as a substitute in the FA Cup
fourth round replay against Liverpool, assisting

in the 1–1 group stage draw against Germany
, but being overlooked for the last-four match against Portugal
