This PSV all-time XI are world beaters!

Making a dream team of an iconic club like PSV is never easy.

Over the years, some of football's greatest legends have featured for the Dutch club and gone on to create various records and unmatched history.

The 24-time Eredivisie champions have seen so many top performers over the years that it is a daunting task to come up with an all-time dream team.

But, here's our attempt at it!

Hans van Breukelen joined PSV from Nottingham Forest in 1984.

Between 1984 and 1994, Van Breukelen made 393 appearances for PSV, winning a host of trophies including six Eredivisie titles, two KNVB Cups, a Dutch Super Cup and a European Cup in the 1987-88 season.

He was also part of the Netherlands national team which won the Euro Championship in 1988, making him a shoo-in between the poles.

Two other goalkeepers deserve a mention here.

First is Jan van Beveren. The shot-stopper joined PSV in 1970 and went on to make 290 appearances for the club, winning six trophies.

Second is Heurelho Gomes. Before we heard his name regularly in his stint at Tottenham Hotspur, Gomes was at PSV where he made 128 appearances between 2004 and 2008, winning five trophies including four Eredivisie titles.

Belgian right-back Eric Gerets joined PSV from fellow Dutch club MVV in 1985.

The defender went on to make 200 appearances for the club between 1985 and 1992, featuring in a team alongside superstars like Ruud Gullit, Frank Arnesen, Huub Stevens, Willy van de Kerkhof and Brazilian star Romario.

After winning the league title with PSV in 1986, Gullit left the club and it was Gerets who went on to captain the team. He won six league titles, three KNVB Cups and a European Cup with PSV.

Sjef van Run is another right-back revered among the PSV faithful. The Dutchman played 359 games for PSV between 1926 and 1942

Ernie Brandts arrived at PSV as a 21-year-old in 1977.

The defender won two Eredivisie titles and a Uefa Cup with the club in his seven-year stay.

The Dutchman, who also had 28 caps for his country, made 251 appearances for PSV, scoring 23 goals.

Brazilian defender Alex is another player who could slot into this position. Known for his physical strength and the power of his shot, which has gained him the nicknames of "The Tank", Alex joined Chelsea from Santos in 2004.

The Blues decided to loan the defender to PSV between 2004 and 2007. During his loan spell with the club, Alex made 84 appearances and scored 11 goals. Alex won three Eredivisie titles and a KNVB Cup with PSV.

One of the greatest goalscoring centre-backs in history, Ronald Koeman arrived at PSV from rivals Ajax in 1986.

It was at PSV that Koeman realised his goalscoring prowess despite being a defender. He scored 51 goals in just 98 games for PSV between 1986 and 1989.

His performances saw him join Barcelona in 1989.

Huub Stevens is another PSV great who should be credited here. He made 293 appearances for PSV between 1975 and 1986, winning the Eredivisie three times, a KNVB Cup and a Uefa Cup at the club.
