Newly promoted to the Premier League , Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp signed Berger on a free transfer . Redknapp said of the deal : " Patrik 's [ sic ] a quality player , free - and the type of player who 'll bring good experience to Portsmouth . I had a bit of competition for him but he 's looked round the area and is very happy to join us . " Berger made his first appearance for Portsmouth on the opening day against Aston Villa ; he scored the club 's second goal . Berger scored the winning goal in Portsmouth 's victory over his former club Liverpool in October 2003 . A month later , he set up the first and fourth Portsmouth goals and scored the fifth in Portsmouth 's 6 – 1 win against Leeds United . On Boxing Day 2003 , Berger helped Portsmouth to a 2 – 0 win against Tottenham , scoring both goals of the game from free kicks , the first of which was scored from 35 yards ( 32 m ) . Berger underwent an operation upon his knee in February 2004 , forcing him to miss the remainder of the season .
Berger started the 2004 – 05 season with note , scoring August 's contender for Goal of the Season against Charlton Athletic . His second goal of the campaign came in a 3 – 1 win away to Crystal Palace , striking from 25 yards ( 23 m ) . October 2004 saw his final league goal for Portsmouth in a 2 – 2 away draw at Norwich , scoring a 25 @-@ yard free kick .
The club endured a difficult end to the season , winning just once in a period of 12 matches , which prompted the appointment of Alain Perrin as Portsmouth 's new manager . Berger was one of a number of players including Steve Stone and Shaka Hislop whose contracts were due to expire in the summer . Portsmouth successfully avoided relegation close to the end of the season , following a 2 – 0 loss away at Manchester City on 30 April . In spite of Portsmouth having retained their Premier League status , Berger then joined Aston Villa on a two @-@ year @-@ deal , citing manager David O 'Leary as the main reason for choosing Villa .
= = = Aston Villa = = =
Berger was hampered by injury during his early Villa career , making few league appearances . During the first part of his second season , he only played two matches under new manager Martin O 'Neill . In November 2006 he was sent to Championship side Stoke City on loan until 4 January 2007 , following a fine of two weeks ' wages for refusing to play in a reserve game . During his time at Stoke , he started just one match and took part in a further six as a substitute . Following his return from Stoke , Berger was commended by O 'Neill on his fitness and on 7 April 2007 , Berger started his first game for Villa since October 2005 . He marked this occasion by scoring a goal in a 2 – 1 victory against Blackburn Rovers . Berger scored again on 5 May 2007 in the penultimate game of the season against Sheffield United . On 28 May 2007 , Berger agreed to sign a one @-@ year contract extension with Aston Villa .
Berger was injured in the pre @-@ season of the 2007 – 08 Premier League , keeping him out of league matches until October 2007 . He then suffered a recurrence of the same injury and was ruled out for a further period of time . On 6 May 2008 , Berger was told he had played his last game for Aston Villa after urging captain Gareth Barry to move to Liverpool . This came just days after manager Martin O 'Neill claimed he was " desperate " to keep Barry following interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool . At the end of his contract Berger was released by the club , having appeared in just 29 league matches in three seasons .
= = = Return to Prague = = =
On 29 May 2008 , Berger returned to Prague as a free agent , signing a two @-@ year contract with boyhood club Sparta Prague , also becoming captain of the club for the 2008 – 09 Gambrinus liga . In November 2008 , Berger scored a hat @-@ trick against SK Kladno in a 5 – 0 Sparta victory . Sparta went on to finish the season in second place , thus ensuring qualification for the following season 's UEFA Champions League tournament . Berger was the club 's top league goalscorer with six goals .
During the 2009 – 10 season , Berger played just two league matches before undergoing more knee surgery . On 6 January 2010 he announced his retirement after failing to recover from a ligament injury .

In October 1995 he scored the second goal in a must @-@ win qualification match for Euro 1996 against Belarus , which the Czechs won 2 – 0 . In his first 12 international appearances , Berger totalled eight goals .
Berger was part of the Czech Republic team who took part in Euro 1996 , being singled out as the only player in the squad with the potential to become a " major international star " . In spite of this , Martin Frýdek was preferred to Berger in the starting lineup for the first match against Germany . Berger went on to play in all of his nation 's matches in the tournament , famously scoring in the final from the penalty spot to give the Czech Republic a 1 – 0 lead against Germany . However , the Czech Republic ultimately lost on the golden goal rule in extra time .
Between 1997 and 1998 , Berger boycotted the Czech national team due to a conflict with head coach Dušan Uhrin . He returned to the national set @-@ up after a 17 @-@ month absence following the appointment of Jozef Chovanec as Uhrin 's replacement . He made a notable return to the national team , scoring two goals from free kicks in a qualification match against Estonia .
The next major international tournament Berger took part in was Euro 2000 . Having been suspended for his nation 's first two matches after being sent off in a qualifier against the Faroe Islands , Berger played just one match . Berger announced his retirement from international football in March 2002 at the age of 28 . He finished his career having made a total of 44 appearances for national teams , including 42 for the Czech Republic and 2 for Czechoslovakia . He scored a total of 18 international goals , all for the Czech Republic .

Lodewijk van den Berg ( Dutch pronunciation : [ <unk> fɑn <unk> <unk> ] ; born March 24 , 1932 ) is a Dutch American chemical engineer , specializing in crystal growth , who flew on a 1985 Space Shuttle Challenger mission as a Payload Specialist .
He was the first Dutch @-@ born astronaut , a fact that is often ignored in the Netherlands because he was a naturalized American and no longer a Dutch citizen at the time of flight . He is married and has two children . As of 2014 , he resides in Florida and works as a chief scientist at the Constellation Technology Corporation .
= = Education and early career = =
Van den Berg was born on March 24 , 1932 , in <unk> , Netherlands . Van den Berg was educated in the Netherlands where he attended the Delft University of Technology from 1949 to 1961 and earned his Engineer 's degree in chemical engineering . He then moved to the United States to continue studying at the University of Delaware , where he obtained a MSc degree in applied science , followed by a PhD degree in 1974 , also in applied science .
After he had completed his doctoral study , he was offered a job at EG & G Corporation Energy Measurements in Goleta , California , to work on crystal growth . EG & G was a defense contractor of the United States government and dealt with sensitive information and science . In 1975 , this required Van den Berg to become a naturalized U.S. citizen . Van den Berg gathered years of research and management experience in the preparation of crystalline materials — in particular , the growth of single crystals of chemical compounds , and the investigation of associated defect chemistry and electronic properties . He became an international authority on vapor growth techniques with an emphasis on mercuric iodide crystals and its application in the nuclear industry as gamma ray detectors . During his work at EG & G , Van den Berg asked NASA for permission to conduct crystal growth experiments in space , which NASA approved .

= = = Selection = = =
Van den Berg and his colleagues designed the EG & G Vapor Crystal Growth System experiment apparatus for a Space Shuttle flight . The experiment required an in @-@ flight operator and NASA decided that it would be easier to train a crystal growth scientist to become an astronaut , than it would be the other way around . NASA asked EG & G and Van den Berg to compile a list of eight people who would qualify to perform the science experiments in space and to become a Payload Specialist . Van den Berg and his chief , Dr. Harold A. <unk> could only come up with seven names . <unk> subsequently proposed adding Van den Berg to the list , joking with Van den Berg that due to his age , huge glasses and little strength , he would probably be dropped during the first selection round ; but at least they would have eight names . Van den Berg agreed to be added to the list , but didn 't really consider himself being selected to be a realistic scenario .
The first selection round , consisted of a selection based on science qualifications in the field in question , which Van den Berg easily passed . The final four candidates were tested on physical and mental qualifications which he also passed , while two of the others failed due to possible heart issues . He was now part of the final two , and NASA always trains two astronauts , a prime and a back @-@ up . In 1983 he started to train as an astronaut and six months before the launch he was told that he would be the prime astronaut , much to his own surprise . When he went into space he was 53 years old , making him one of the oldest rookie astronauts .
= = = STS @-@ 51B = = =
Van den Berg was assigned as Payload Specialist on STS @-@ 51B Challenger ( April 29 – May 6 , 1985 ) . STS @-@ 51B , the Spacelab @-@ 3 mission , was launched from the Kennedy Space Center , Florida , and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base , California . It was the first operational Spacelab mission . The seven @-@ man crew aboard Challenger conducted investigations into crystal growth , drop dynamics leading to <unk> material processing , atmospheric trace gas spectroscopy , solar and planetary atmospheric simulation , cosmic rays , and laboratory @-@ animal and human medical monitoring .
As a co @-@ investigator of the Vapor Crystal Growth System ( VCGS ) experiment , Van den Berg was responsible for the crystal growth aspects of the VCGS experiment . He had intimate knowledge of VCGS and Fluid Experiment System ( FES ) hardware , and had participated in all major design and science reviews of those systems .
By the end of the mission , Van den Berg had traveled over 2 @.@ 9 million miles in 110 Earth orbits , and logged over 168 hours in space .
= = Career after NASA = =
After returning to Earth , Van den Berg continued to work on crystal growth experiments at EG & G in California and he became the head for the section of materials science . At a later time he moved to Florida to become a chief scientist at the Constellation Technology Corporation . At age 72 , he continued to work up to 40 hours a week and grow crystals , a process he compares to gardening . The crystals he grows ( <unk> Iodide crystals ) are used to make precision detectors for nuclear radiation . These detectors are used in medical applications , by the defense industry and the International Atomic Energy Agency .
He visits the Netherlands every two years , and was the subject of a short 2004 documentary by <unk> called : The <unk> <unk> .
= = Asteroid = =
On September 28 , 2007 the main belt asteroid <unk> ( <unk> P @-@ L ) was named after him and is now known as <unk> <unk> . The asteroid was discovered October 17 , 1960 by Cornelis Johannes van Houten and Ingrid van Houten @-@ <unk> at Leiden Observatory , where they were studying photographic plates taken by Tom <unk> using the Palomar Observatory 's Samuel Oschin telescope .
