Inspired by Ton Thie, I had a look at the FC Den Haag (forerunner to ADO) squad of the late 1960's and early 1970's and we have some more beauties. Ton Thie, Martin Jol and Dick Advocaat's team mates included- Aad Killa, Wytze Couperus, Jonny Dusbaba, Cees Storm, Sjaak Roggeveen, Paul Roodnat and my favourite, Piet de Zoete (Piet the Sweet)
i'm a big fan of the name of oldham athletic keeper ZEUS DE LA PAZ (sure he plays for curacao, but grew up in the netherlands). their other keeper revels in the name JOHNY PLACIDE, who is not dutch at all, but a french-born haiti international. good name tho.
John Kennedy Toole aficionados will be delighted to know that my burst of midweek matchgoing (more on that later, if/when I get around to writing up) brought to my attention AFC's wonderfully-named forward Raily Ignacio.
