Live and act

From 1963 he guarded the goal of the Velsen club Telstar in 156 first division matches. In 1967 he was signed by Ajax Amsterdam , where he was originally number two behind Gert Bals , whom he replaced as a regular goalkeeper from 1970.

By 1976 he stood 132 times for the Ajacieden in league games between the posts. His time at Ajax describes the golden era of Ajax and he won the Dutch Cup three times , four national championships , three times in a row the European Cup and the World Cup with the club . In the European Cup finals between 1971 and 1973, which the team around Johan Cruyff , Johan Neeskens and Piet Keizer won against Panathinaikos and Internazionale FC 2-0 and Juventus FC 1-0, he stayed three times in a row without conceding a goal Record is. In the two finals for the 1972 World Cup against CA Independiente from Argentina, however, he had to pull behind him once in a 1-1 draw in the industrial suburb of Avellaneda in Bonaren. Ajax took the title with a 2-0 win in the second leg. After the European Cup win against Panathinaikos in 1971, Stuy was allowed to play as a striker in the still outstanding league game against the Go Ahead Eagles from Deventer , but remained without a goal.

The goalkeeper, who also acquired the reputation of a "second libero " through his understanding of the game , has held a record in the Dutch first division, the Eredivisie, which still exists today, with 1,082 minutes without conceding a goal.
