He wasn’t an actually goalie, of course. But one day he had to replace the keeper and Ruud Gullit knew how to stop the opponents from scoring!
Look at this!!

Some players score a lot of goals, some players score a lot of beauties and then some players can only score wonder goals. Dennis Bergkamp comes to mind. Marco van Basten, of course. Robin van Persie. And that Belgium bloke who won over our Dutch hearts. Luc Nilis. Had to end his career due to [...]

An overview of great goals is never complete without Mr Glass from Finland. Jari traveled Europe as an apprentice before Louis van Gaal signed him for Ajax. Dan Pedersen - Denmark - was the chosen one to fill Dennis Bergkamp shoes at Ajax after he’d left. But when the Dane got injured Litmanen took the [...]

There’s been many wonderful goals in the past, when I search my memory. Gio van Bronckhorst scored a rocket for Oranje in Amsterdam against Ireland (?), in the WC qualification campaign under Van Gaal. Bennie Wijnstekers, Mr Feyenoord, hit a scorcher against PSV in De Kuip, but all these goals can’t be found on YouTube [...]

He had given himself till the end of July to find a new club. But, he really wanted a top club. Patrick Kluivert (31) didn’t want to end his career in the cellar of some competition. It’s August now, and that top club hasn’t found Kluivert’s number. And they probably never will.
Kluivert played in Stam’s [...]

Adrie now…
EC1988 winner Adrie van Tiggelen is assistant coach at Sparta and is a happy trooper. “Head coach Foeke Booy allows me to do the training often. He just observes, while I do the work. I keep track of progress and discuss the program with him. When Aandewiel was coach, the board asked me to [...]

JC made a lot of great great goals… If Van Basten’s volley is the quintessential Oranje goal ever, this goal is Barcelona’s most beautiful. Despite Romario, Stoichkov, Ronaldinho, Messi… JC made the best goal ever for Barca, against Atletico Madrid. The balance, the timing, the touch… And to be honest, the 1970s quality broadcast helps [...]

We live in the YouTube age and everything that has been filmed or will be filmed can be found in a matter of seconds (or if you live in Australia: minutes…).
I will never forget this particular moment. A great goal by one-time-supertalent Marciano Vink. The Ajax player - destined to become the next Ruud Krol [...]

FC Twente played an impressive match against big guns Arsenal for the CL qualifications in Enschede.
Although the McLaren team never looked liked they’d whip the Gunners’ arses, a goalless draw seemed possible. Arsenal benefited from a defensive blunder after an hour of play, when the Tukkers forgot to clear a Van Persie free kick and [...]

Almost ten years after his debut in Oranje Ruud van Nistelrooy decided to stop as international. The 32 year old striker wants to focus fully on his career with Real Madrid.
He already told new team manager Bert van Marwijk that the WC2010 is a bridge too far. Van Nistelrooy said he didn’t take his decision [...]
