In his tribute to the former Nigerian footballer, Overmars said, “It was an unbelievable time at Ajax to play together with you.”
“You on the right side, I on the left side. I think it was one of the best combinations Ajax had in history. It was a great honor to play with you in this shirt.”
Finidi won three league titles, the Shield as well as the Champions League trophy, Super Cup and intercontinental Cup in his three seasons at Ajax.
