PSV Eindhoven

 

Willy van der Kuylen, a football legend at PSV Eindhoven

 

Still top scorer of all times of the Dutch football. With a total goals of 311, of which he scored 308 times for PSV in the period 1964 till 1981. You should expect that he would be at least in the top 10 for ‘most international games for the Dutch team.’ He only played 22 international games, in which he scored 7 times. Middle seventies a fight between PSV players Willy van der Kuylen en Jan van Beveren on the one hand and on the other hand Johan Cruijff and Johan Neeskens made an end of the Dutch team experience for Willy. A shame for the real sport fan. After his active soccer career Willy van der Kuylen stayed active for PSV being a youth coach and an assistant coach. Currently he is an international scout. For this special athlete a statue is build next to the PSV stadium.
