That's it. Ronald started at FC Groningen of course. Went to Ajax as midfielder. Cruyff (!) sold him to PSV and got Wouters instead. And Blind. (Van Basten was furious!!). Koeman played libero for PSV until he left for Barca (under Cruyff!!) and returned to Feyenoord when Van Hanegem lured him back... Well done, Dave :-) … That’s it.

He was the first to play for all big three Dutch clubs. As far as I know, only one player repeated that after him. Pop Quiz: Who was that player? By the way: Ruud Geels also played for PSV.

Van der Kuylen is still super scout for PSV, yes. Oh, and Hans Peter Briegel didn't play the 1974 squad, he was in the 1980s squad I believe. But it is hard to mix players from 3 decades. How can you actually see Keizer and Van Hanegem play in todays game and compare them to respectively Overmars and Davids???? It's madness. I'd go for: Sar Gullit Rijkaard De Boer Davids Neeskens Cruyff Van Hanegem Bergkamp Van Basten Rensenbrink/Overmars Subs: Cocu Overmars/Rensenbrink Van Beveren Krol Sneijder Van Persie Van Nistelrooy Aaarghh.h....i don't know.... It’s hard isn’t it…?

I think that the '78 performance was even better than that of the '74 squad, considering they were playing without JC.
