Daniel Van Buyten (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈdaːnijɛlvɑmˈbœytə(n)];[3] born 7 February 1978) is a Belgian former footballer who played as a centre back. Nicknamed "Big Dan",[4] Van Buyten was known for his uncompromising style of play, exploiting both his physical strength and aerial ability.
Beginning at Charleroi as a striker, Van Buyten's career took off when he converted to a centre back, playing for a series of top flight clubs, including Marseille, Manchester City, Hamburger SV and Bayern Munich. Throughout his career, Van Buyten was also a regular starter for the Belgium national team, amassing 83 caps in an international career that spanned 13 years and which included participation at two FIFA World Cups.
Van Buyten became the first-ever Belgian winner of the UEFA Champions League when Bayern Munich claimed the European crown in 2013.[5]
