| Place of birth | Kampen |
| Nationality | Dutch |
| Weight | 89 kg |

| Position | Defender |
After performing solidly for Holland during Euro 2000, Jaap Stam had a wretched start to his second Premiership campaign for Manchester United, suffering a troublesome Achilles injury that forced him out of the side after only four games.
During the next three months, his name was conspicuous by its absence from the United team-sheet as he underwent surgery and battled back to fitness.
While United coped well without him, his return in January was a much-needed boost in the run-in to domestic and European honours.
His presence inspired the team to go on a five-game run without conceding a goal in the Premiership and when contracts were being discussed in February he pledged his future to United, hoping to end his career at Old Trafford before moving to the United States.
An immensely strong central defender, brilliant in the tackle, Jaap played a crucial role in United's 'treble' season.
Surprisingly released in 2001.
