Although somewhat of a forgotten star to South African audiences, former Bafana Bafana striker Lars Veldwijk is living quite a life with his relatively new girlfriend, who is a prominent influencer in Europe.
The story
It has been a tumultuous year for the 32-year-old star, as he he went from banging in goals for South Korea for Suwon FC to having his contract terminated by the club after being found drunk-driving.
That was followed by four months on the sidelines before the Dutch-born centre-forward signed a short-term deal in February with Spanish third-tier side Castellon, which is set to last until 1 June 2024.
