'''Wilfred Bouma''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈʋɪlfrəd ˈbʌumaː}};{{efn|''Wilfred'' in isolation: {{IPA|nl|ˈʋɪlfrət|}}.}} born 15 June 1978) is a Dutch former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played most notably for [[PSV Eindhoven]], [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] and the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands national team]].
==Club career==
===Early career===
Born in [[Helmond]], [[North Brabant]], Bouma started his career at amateur club SV Rood-Wit '62 before joining [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]] on a youth contract in 1994. The PSV head coach at the time, [[Aad de Mos]] handed him his professional debut against [[Willem II (football club)|Willem II]] on 26 October 1994 which his team lost 2–1. After not featuring for a long time, he was loaned out to [[MVV Maastricht|MVV]] in 1996 and played in the [[Eerste Divisie]] where he scored seven goals in 18 games. The following season, he scored sixteen goals in 33 games after helping his team back into the [[Eredivisie]]. After impressing at [[Fortuna Sittard]] in 1998–99, he was drafted back into the PSV squad the following season.
===PSV===
At PSV, he played as a left winger and as forward because of his quick pace and direct passing, teaming up with [[Arnold Jan Bruggink|Arnold Bruggink]] and at times, with [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]].
When [[Arthur Numan]] departed to [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] at the end of the 1999–00 season, Bouma was moved to left-back where he had to compete with Danish international [[Jan Heintze]].
With the [[2002 FIFA World Cup]] qualifiers entering its crucial stages, Bouma was handed his international debut for the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands national team]] against the [[Republic of Ireland]] on 2 September 2000. In the [[2004 UEFA European Football Championship|Euro 2004]] tournament in Portugal, he was chosen by [[Dick Advocaat]] to play as a central defender and he has also retained that spot while playing for PSV under [[Guus Hiddink]] in the 2004–05 season.
===Aston Villa===
[[File:Wilfred Bouma Chelsea v. Aston Villa 1.png|thumb|100px|Bouma before an [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] game in 2007]]
Just before the close of the international [[transfer window]], Bouma signed for [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] on 30 August 2005 for £3.5 million.<ref>{{Cite news| title = Villa land Dutch defender Bouma| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4194370.stm| publisher=BBC Sport| date = 30 August 2005| access-date = 12 April 2008}}</ref> He struggled to establish himself during the 2005–06 campaign at [[Villa Park]], as his debut season was heavily tarnished with injuries. However, when [[Martin O'Neill]] replaced boss [[David O'Leary]], Bouma – after recovering from a hamstring injury – replaced stand-in left-back [[Gareth Barry]].
Under O'Neill, Bouma begun to flourish during the [[2006–07 Aston Villa F.C. season|2006–07 season]] – he established himself as first choice left back and went on to total 28 appearances in the claret and blue shirt. This turn in form also attributed to Bouma reclaiming his place in the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands national team]], playing in the friendly against [[Russia national football team|Russia]] in February 2007, the tour of Asia in June 2007 and the following [[UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying]] fixtures.
On 9 February 2008, Bouma – who was in the process of making his 76th appearance in claret and blue – netted his only goal for the club in the 48th minute of the match against [[Newcastle United]]. The deflected goal levelled the game at 1–1, before a hat-trick by teammate [[John Carew]], wrapped up a 4–1 victory.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7223963.stm|title=Aston Villa 4–1 Newcastle|publisher=BBC|date=9 February 2008|access-date=2 September 2009}}</ref>
Upon returning from international duty for [[Netherlands national football team|the Netherlands]] at [[Euro 2008]], Bouma participated in both legs of Aston Villa's [[2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup|Intertoto Cup]] third round tie against [[Odense BK|Odense]], however the second leg at Villa Park on 26 July 2008 was marred by a serious ankle injury to the full-back. Bouma caught his studs on the turf as he attempted to challenge opposition forward [[Baye Djiby Fall]]. Initially, the injury looked like a break, however reports later confirmed that Bouma had suffered a dislocation, an injury which looked set to keep him out until October. His recovery however took much longer. Bouma's increasing importance to the Villa cause, as well as his 'cult-hero status' was noted as he was carried off early in the tie whilst being accompanied by a 30,000 strong chant of support by the Villa faithful.<ref>{{Cite web |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/7527180.stm|title = Horror injury for Villa's Bouma |publisher=BBC|date=26 July 2008 |access-date=16 March 2011}}</ref>
On 9 September 2008, Bouma signed a new two-year deal at Villa Park with the option of a third year.
In January 2009, it was announced that Bouma, along with other long-term absentee [[John Carew]] had returned to full training. He was scheduled to return on 16 February for the reserves but he pulled out at the last minute because he "felt sore". On 2 March 2009, Bouma finally played 90 minutes in a 4–3 win in a reserve match against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]]. However, he suffered a setback on his road to recovery in April after learning bone fragments had broken away from his ankle, and underwent surgery soon after.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/8004750.stm|title = Ankle injury ends Bouma's season|publisher=BBC|date=17 April 2009 |access-date=16 September 2009}}</ref>
On 16 September 2009, after being out of action for fourteen months, it was announced that Bouma had resumed full training with the club.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/8259666.stm|title=Bouma resumes training for Villa|publisher=BBC|date=16 September 2009 |access-date=16 September 2009}}</ref> Yet to make a return to Villa's first team, Bouma suffered another setback and was again out of action with a stubbed toe injury.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1895909,00.html|title=Bouma Suffers Another Setback|publisher=AVFC|date=6 December 2009|access-date=30 March 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923181302/http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1895909,00.html|archive-date=23 September 2015}}</ref>
On 29 January 2010, Aston Villa announced that Bouma had finally returned to full training following eighteen months of absence through injury.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1948306,00.html|title=Bouma is Back|publisher=Aston Villa Football Club|date=29 January 2010|access-date=30 March 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923181304/http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~1948306,00.html|archive-date=23 September 2015}}</ref> However, while Bouma played a full ninety minutes for the Aston Villa reserves in February 2010, he never made a return to the first team. On 6 May 2010, Aston Villa confirmed that Bouma was set to leave the club at the end of the [[2009–10 Aston Villa F.C. season|2009–2010]] season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.teamtalk.com/news/2483/6137002/Bouma-shown-the-exit-door-by-Villa|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100509164533/http://www.teamtalk.com/news/2483/6137002/Bouma-shown-the-exit-door-by-Villa|archive-date=9 May 2010|title=Bouma shown the exit door by Villa|publisher=Teamtalk.com|date=6 May 2010 |access-date=6 May 2010}}</ref> Bouma said his goodbyes to the Villa faithful during half-time of the home defeat to [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn]] in their final league game, later stating that he intended to address the fans but "just couldn't do it" after becoming too emotional.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tribalfootball.com/bouma-thanks-aston-villa-fans-emotional-farewell-868971|title=Bouma thanks Aston Villa fans for emotional farewell|work=Tribal Football|date=28 May 2010|access-date=28 May 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601012548/http://tribalfootball.com/bouma-thanks-aston-villa-fans-emotional-farewell-868971|archive-date=1 June 2010}}</ref>
===Return to PSV===
On 26 June 2010, it was revealed that Bouma's former club [[PSV Eindhoven]] had offered him a trial at the club in an attempt to revive his career and he joined up with the rest of the PSV squad for pre-season training.<ref>{{Cite news| title = Wilfred Bouma offered trial at PSV| url = http://www.birminghammail.net/birmingham-sport/aston-villa-fc/aston-villa-news/2010/06/26/aston-villa-wilfred-bouma-offered-trial-at-psv-97319-26731965/| work=Birmingham Mail| date = 26 June 2010| access-date = 26 June 2010}}</ref> Bouma later sealed his return on 30 August 2010, signing a two-year contract with the club.<ref>{{Cite news| title = Bouma seals homecoming to PSV| url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01e8-0e7552d24010-c88b276cea3c-1000--bouma-seals-homecoming-to-psv/| publisher=UEFA| date = 30 August 2010| access-date = 30 August 2010}}</ref> Bouma scored his first goal since his return to the Netherlands in a 3–0 home win against [[VVV-Venlo]]. Bouma played 66 minutes during a record [[Eredivisie]] 10–0 victory over [[Feyenoord]].
