Trivia
- Even though living in Amsterdam, the Biseswar family have always been big Feyenoord fans. When Biseswar renewed his contract at Feyenoord in April 2009, his father was thrilled: "I look forward to come to De Kuip for many more years, because although I come from Amsterdam, Feyenoord is my club. It would be wonderful to see Diego win the national title with Feyenoord in the coming years."
