Bastiaan Jacob "Bas" Paauwe (born October 4, 1911 in Rotterdam , Netherlands ; † February 27, 1989 ) was a Dutch football player and coach . He played for the first division club Feijenoord Rotterdam for 18 years and was a member of the national team from 1932 to 1946 .

Club career

Paauwe became a member of Feijenoord when he was 16. On December 29, 1929 he made his debut in the first team of the Red and White, in a 4-0 victory against 't Gooi from Hilversum . Three other Paauwes brothers - Jaap , Arie and Jan - also played for Feijenoord during these years. Over the next few years Bas played in the team mostly together with his older brother Jaap. His position was occasionally that of the right outer runner , but mostly he was used as a center runner - with his brother on the right and Puck van Heel on the left half position. As a small, but agile and technically adept dribbler , he was often described as a "football artist". Bas Paauwe was part of the team that opened De Kuip on March 27, 1937 with a 5-2 win over Germinal Beerschot . In the city ​​derby against Sparta in 1944, Paauwe and Gerard Kuppen tried a penalty variant successfully: Paauwe took the penalty kick, but put the ball forward only a few decimeters for Kuppen, who scored to make it 2-2; Feijenoord ultimately won the derby 4: 3. In addition to football, which at that time still took place under amateur status in the Netherlands, Paauwe initially worked as an electrician at Holland-America Lijn . At the end of the 1930s he was already working as an innkeeper on Hillevliet in the Feijenoord district south of the Nieuwe Maas , where he later opened his own restaurant De Ster .

After seventeen and a half years in which he scored 18 goals in 311 league games for Feijenoord - in later years following van Heels as team captain - he was in the first team for the last time on May 11, 1947, in a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam at AFC Ajax . During his time with Feijenoord he won three national championships and twice the KNVB Cup .

National team

Bas Paauwe was a member of the Dutch national team as early as 1931 . He was supposed to play in Oranje on March 29, 1931 against Belgium as with Feijenoord as a middle runner between his brother Jaap and her teammate Puck van Heel, but injured himself beforehand. He came to his first international match more than a year later, on May 8, 1932 against Ireland . In the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam , the selection committee put him on as a legal aid - because his brother, who was a regular in this position (he made eight international appearances in 1931/32), was injured. On his debut, he played with the experienced van Heel, who had already played 30 international matches, on the left and with Wim Anderiesen from AFC Ajax in the middle position.

Bas Paauwe found himself unsuitable for the position of the right runner. In the next international match, Jaap took it again. For the next but one match in December 1932 in Düsseldorf against Germany , Bas traveled with the national team, but canceled his participation shortly before the game, so that Henk Pellikaan ran as the right runner. Pellikaan also took over the position in the following encounters. It was not until two and a half years later, in November 1934, that Bas Pauwe returned to Orange . After Pellikaan was injured, Paauwe ran again as the right runner in the Bern stadium Neufeld in the 4-2 win against Switzerland . The combination Paauwe – Anderiesen – van Heel was the regular line-up of the runner series for more than five years, in the 22 games up to the beginning of 1939 only one Anderiesen and one van Heel (whom Paauwe represented on the left in this game) was missing. These games also included the matches for World Cup qualification and the 3-0 defeat after extra time against the Czechs and Slovaks at the final tournament in France .

Paauwe scored his only international goal in 1940 in the so-called Schande van Rotterdam , when the Netherlands lost 4-5 to Lëtzebuerg in Abe Lenstra's debut game . His international career was interrupted by occupation and war , but after the end of the war he returned to his regular position in dress with the number four for three games in 1946. In these encounters, as in the last pre-war match, he was captain of the national team.

Bas Paauwe completed a total of 31 international matches. In none of them, however, was he on the pitch with his brother Jaap.

Trainer

Paauwe's role model as a trainer was the trainer who had impressed him at Feijenoord since 1935. As for Richard Dombi , friendly and respectful interaction with one another was decisive for Paauwe. Since the 1950s he has worked as a coach, among others at clubs such as Maurits in Geleen , WVC in Winterswijk , HVC in Amersfoort , Sittardia in Sittard .

From 1958 to 1960 he was with VV Ede , which he led to the championship in the Derde class and promotion in 1960 . In the 1961/62 season he coached the Enschedese Boys in the Eerste Divisie ; During the season he was kicked out by his former national team-mate Abe Lenstra , who wanted to have sole say as player- coach . He was responsible for four years at WVV Wageningen , with which he rose to the second division as champion of the Tweede Divisie in his last season in 1968 . After a season at VVV-Venlo , he took over vv Heerenveen in 1969 . He also led this team in 1970, in its first season, to the championship in the third division and to promotion to the Eerste Divisie.

Honors
