Robin van Persie (born 6 August 1983 in Rotterdam) is a Dutch footballer who plays for English Premier League club Arsenal F.C. and the Dutch national team. The son of two artists, Van Persie was encouraged to follow in his parents' footsteps, but he instead preferred football and joined SBV Excelsior's youth squad in 2001. He made his breakthrough at hometown club Feyenoord, where he spent three seasons and won the 2002 UEFA Cup. In 2004, he moved to England and signed with Arsenal, with whom he promptly won the FA Community Shield, and the FA Cup. Van Persie has 33 caps and 12 goals with the Netherlands, and participated in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2008.

Robin van Persie was raised in the Kralingen section of east Rotterdam. His mother, José Ras, was a painter, and his father, Bob, a sculptor. He has two sisters, Lilly and Kiki. He was frequently encouraged to become involved in the arts like his parents, but he gravitated toward football instead.
