Part of the great Dutch and Ajax sides, always remember him for his battling qualities, got the same feeling when he was on the ball as I did when our Asa got on the ball, dynamic.
RIP.
RIP.
Did he play alongside Dennis Tueart at New York.He played with the New York cosmos in the late 70s. I remember him as a solid, physical, tough as nails midfielder who took. I prisoners. I would compare him to Nigel de jong but he was more creative and skillful. That’s how remembered hm all those years ago when I started watching football.
IIRC correctly he was a heavy smoker like Cryuff was. It’s hard to believe but many top players back in the 60s and 70s were heavy smokers.
Yes he did. Neeskans played in New York from 1979-84. The king of all Geordie’s came in 1980 IIRC.Did he play alongside Dennis Tueart at New York.
Me too we even used to do the klaxons/sirens getting louder and louder as the impetus of the attack built.What a player he was.......I wanted to be him playing footy in the street in 1974/75.....loved that whole Dutch team.... RIP
