The truth is his dad was not around for so many important years and it is his mother who is the real hero of this story.You dont take your dads name off your shirt without a reason and Virgil has made it very clear how he feels.The 27-year-old’s father, Ron, took the youngster to training and matches with youth football team WDS19.However, Fo Sieeuw insists it was his mother who had the greatest impact on the centre-half’s progression to the very top.The defender in action for first club Gronigen in 20114

“She had a full-time job and three kids to look after, so she never had a minute for herself,” he added.“She spent every day going to work then coming home and looking after the kids and doing all the cooking.Ron is a nice guy but you need to be more than that to be a good father. You have to be there for your children.“Ron married again and his new wife was very domineering so he didnt see his kids much.Van Dijk moved to Anfield from Southampton in 2018GETTY4

I feel forVirgil, its like hes been caught in the middle.Van Dijk’s personal life was thrown into turmoil when his parents split up when he was just 12.Talking about that difficult time, he told Dutch journalist Jan Mennega in 2011: I first lived with him [dad] for a while and after that I chose to go back with my mother.At that time my brother and sister already lived with her. Then I broke all contact with my dad. At the beginning it wasnt nice but I dont need him any more. My father tried to re-establish contact but I dont want to see him.When I get older maybe I will talk to him again, but at this moment I dont have any feeling for him.He added his businessman brother Jordan, 24, and sister Jennifer, 16, also dropped Van Dijk as a surname and started using their mothers maiden name, Fo Sieeuw.
