Aron Mohamed Winter (born 1 March 1967 in Paramaribo, Suriname) is a retired Dutch football midfielder. He has played for Ajax and Sparta Rotterdam in the Netherlands, for Italian sides Lazio and Internazionale, and for the Dutch national team.

He was born to a Muslim father and a Jewish mother.^[2]

Career

He began his career with amateur club Unicum, he also played for SV Lelystad, before joining AFC Ajax when he was 19 years old. His first game for Ajax was a match against FC Utrecht on 6 April 1986, which Ajax won 3–0. Winter won two KNVB Cups (1987 and 1988), the Eredivisie title (1990), the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1987) and the UEFA Cup (1992) with the club before moving on to Italy, where he played for Lazio in 1992.

His midfield role at Lazio was to replace the "enfant terrible" Paul Gascoigne, and he played the defensive midfield position for many years in the Serie A.

Despite his four-year tenure at Lazio, they were unable to win any titles and, in 1996, Winter joined Internazionale, where he played alongside Roberto Baggio, Giuseppe Bergomi and Gianluca Pagliuca. Together, they won the UEFA Cup in 1998. He had also played in the previous year's final, with the game going to penalties. However, Winter missed his penalty as Inter lost to Schalke.

In 2001, he was loaned out to Sparta Rotterdam after a high-profile dispute with then Ajax coach Co Adriaanse. He played 32 games for Sparta Rotterdam and scored one goal before finishing his career at Ajax, where he chose to retire.

Honours

Eredivisie: 1990, 2002

Dutch Cup: 1987, 2002

UEFA Cup Winners Cup: 1987

UEFA Cup: 1998, 1992

International

He was a member of the Dutch national team that won the 1988 European Football Championship.

In the 1994 FIFA World Cup, he scored a goal against Brazil in the quarter-finals.

He was also selected for the Dutch national team for Euro 96, as well as the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.

His age showed after the 1998 World Cup, and he left Inter for his former club Ajax in 1999. Frank Rijkaard, who was then appointed manager of the Netherlands, informed Winter after the World Cup that his chances for the "Oranje" were limited as they had similar players for his position who were younger than him. True to his pedigree for hard work, Winter maintained a fine form for Ajax, enough to earn a place in Rijkaard's Euro 2000 squad.

Having represented his national team 84 times, scoring six goals, Winter is currently the seventh most capped player for the Dutch national team.^[3]
