Andy van der Meijde (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɛndi vɑn dər ˈmɛidə]; born 30 September 1979), anglicised to van der Meyde, is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a winger.
After making a name for himself at Ajax, he went on to represent Inter Milan and Everton, his spell at the latter club being cut short due to several problems, both on and off the pitch.[1][2]
