Orlando Wensley Engelaar (Dutch pronunciation: [ɔrˈlɑndoː ˈɛŋəlaːr]; born 24 August 1979) is a Dutch retired footballer. Engelaar usually played as a midfielder, and is well known for his height. At 1.96 metres (6 ft 5 in) tall, he is a towering presence on the pitch. His greatest quality was largely considered to be his through pass because, in spite of his size, Engelaar was very much an attack-minded player.[1][2][3][4]
