Now its time for his son Justin to burst on to the scene and he looks just as good as his dad scoring his first professional goal playing for Ajax Jong.

It was a 90 minute penalty that the young 17 year old Kluivert stepped up to take only for the keeper to save but the wonder kid finished the rebound for Ajax's second team.

Kluivert has netted some impressive goals already for Ajax and it wont be long before Europe's elite start sniffing around the striker.

His dad's old team Barcelona are surely going to be interested in taking him to Spain but its important for his development to stay with Ajax for the next couple of seasons.

Ajax have produced some wonderful players over the years with Barcelona modelling their famous 'La Masia' academy on the Dutch giants youth centre.
