Robin van Persie Instagram – Steve, countless were the hours when you scouted me as a young player. Countless were the hours when you sat with me studying videos of Bergkamp and Pires, helping me become aware of space and how to create space on the pitch. You were there for me in a crucial period of my career and you helped me to achieve all the things I dreamt of in football. I played for the club, but I also played for you, the man who believed in me. A scout, a tutor and a friend. Thanks for everything. You will be in my thoughts forever. 🙏❤️
