Robin van Persie on Sunday played his last game for Feyenoord against ADO Den Haag at the De Kuip, putting an end to his 17-year professional soccer career.

Though he's already 35 years old and Feyenoord lost the game 2-0, van Persie still received wishes from his fans who held a huge banner reading "legends are forever."

Van Persie, who started his career with Feyenoord in 2001, has played for four clubs in the last 17 years. The Dutch forward spent the longest and the best years in England with Arsenal and Manchester United.

In his eight seasons with the gunners, van Persie switched from a left winger to become a center forward. In the 278 games he played for Arsenal, van Persie scored total 132 goals and won the FA Cup (2004) and the FA Community Shield (2004) for the club. After that, despite proving to be one of the best killers in Europe, van Persie and Arsenal fell into title drought which did not change until he left Emirates Stadium.

In 2012, van Persie moved to Man United on a four-year deal. Though aging and injury began to slowdown his body in the field, he became more mature and experienced as a scorer. He played 105 games for the Red Devils and claimed 58 goals. In the 2012-13 season, he finally won the first and the only Premier League title of his career.

Van Persie's role in the Dutch national team is even bigger than that in the clubs. In the 102 games he played for the Netherlands, he scored 50 goals, making him the all-time top scorer of the Netherlands. In their group game against Spain at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, van Persie scored two goals for his country, including the epic header that tied the score 1-1 in the first half. In the end, the Netherlands claimed a 5-1 win over Spain, avenging the lost final of 2010.
