The Epitome

Saints have signed a new player called Jan-Paul Saeijs. A much needed veteran, who may help to steady our shaky defence and provide a bit of experience. Here he is:



Am I wrong, or is he the most Dutch looking person in the world? He is just so Dutch. He could not be more Dutch if he tried.

You would have thought that the appearance of Western Europeans would be largely the same - there's so much interbreeding and variation and migration. But no. He could only be Dutch.

All he needs is a windmill sticking out of his head.

He looks a bit like the Dutch cousin of Guy Pearce.

And that's just his head. But it's so Dutch that it doesn't matter what his body's like. He could be wearing a poncho, lederhosen and have the legs of a faun, and people would still say: "man, that is one Dutch motherfucker".

I wonder if there are any other people whose appearance epitomises their nationality.

Suggestions will be appreciated. It's a little competition.

A competition where the prize is suspicions of racism.
