Willie Overtoom (born 2 September 1986) is a Cameroonian-born Dutch footballer who plays as an offensive midfielder for the Dutch Eredivisie club Heracles Almelo.[1] He is the son of a Dutch father and a Cameroonian mother, and has lived the first three years of his life in Cameroon before moving to the Netherlands.
Even though Overtoom played for several national Dutch youth squads in the past, he has never received an invitation for the Netherlands national football team. In 2011 he announced the application for a Cameroonian passport so he would be granted permission to represent The Indomitable Lions.[2]
