The ongoing story of Roy Rudolphus Anton Makaay and Bayern Munich begins nearly a year before the prolific Dutch ace finally arrived to play for the club. On 18 September 2002, he single-handedly stunned the German giants with a hat-trick for Deportivo La Coruna in the Spaniards' crushing 3-2 Champions League victory at the Olympic stadium. Bayern kept a very close eye on the striker's movements from that day on and landed their man the following summer for a club record transfer fee. Makaay immediately set about repaying the investment, scoring an astonishing 31 goals in Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League matches in his first term. "There's no secret," the modest, model pro declares, "it's what I do."
