Career

society

The goalkeeper Jongbloed began his career with the Amsterdam amateur club VVA. In the top division he played for the Amsterdam club DWS and its successor club FC Amsterdam , Roda from Kerkrade and the Go Ahead Eagles from Deventer . With DWS, he rose from the Eredivisie in 1962 , but rose again the following season. As the only team until 2012, DWS with coach Leslie Talbot was able to win the championship title in the following season . In the 1964/65 European Cup , Jongbloed's team reached the quarter-finals; he was also able to advance to the quarter-finals with FC Amsterdam in the 1974/75 UEFA Cup , in which the Amsterdam team were defeated by 1. FC Köln . During his time in Amsterdam, Jongbloed remained a semi-professional and also worked in his cigar shop; only at the age of 36 after moving to Roda JC was he able to earn his living entirely from a professional salary.

He actually wanted to end his career after his time in Kerkrade in 1982, but when Go-Ahead Eagles coach Henk Wullems asked him six months later to jump in for eleven games at the club from Deventer, he said yes. He then completed two full seasons with the Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie. At the age of almost 45, he suffered a heart attack on September 8, 1985 after the Go Ahead Eagles' away game at HFC Haarlem , which put an end to his active career. He then worked as an assistant coach for the Go Ahead Eagles and then from 1988 to 2010 as an assistant and youth coach and as a scout at Vitesse Arnheim . For a short time in 1995/96 he was interim - together with Frans Thijssen - head of the Eredivisiemeam. Since his involuntary departure from Vitesse, he has been a consultant and head of the youth department of the amateur club Hellas Sport from Zaandam .

National team

Jan Jongbloed made his debut in goal for the Dutch national team at the age of 21. On September 22, 1962, he came on in a 4-1 defeat in and against Denmark shortly before the end for Piet Lagarde from Sportclub Enschede , but had to accept the Danes' fourth goal in the five minutes. It wasn't until almost twelve years later that he returned to the Dutch team in the penultimate test match before the 1974 World Cup . From that point on, he fought a duel with Piet Schrijvers from Ajax Amsterdam for the position of goalkeeper number one. Coach Rinus Michels relied on him during the 1974 World Cup in Germany . He was in goal at all games of the Netherlands in 1974 and became vice world champion. He was the only Dutch goalkeeper who was selected for a World Cup final tournament because of his playing qualities. Jongbloed was a goalkeeper who played along and liked to go forward with an impending defeat. Michels preferred to have a goalkeeper in Germany who could also function as a sweeper - in the spirit of “ total football ” of the Oranje- Elf.

At the Football World Cup in Argentina in 1978 , coach Ernst Happel initially relied on the experienced keeper, but when he did not look particularly good in the last group game against Scotland in the 2-3 defeat, he was replaced by Piet Schrijvers by Happel . When Schrijvers injured himself in the last game of the second round of the finals against Italy , Jongbloed came back and played the second World Cup final of his career against Argentina . Again, in his last international match, he was only runner-up.

Jongbloed occasionally caused astonishment with his shirt number , which is an unusual 8 for a goalkeeper. He received this number because the shirt numbers of the Dutch national team were assigned alphabetically in the 1970s. The only exception here was the star of the team at the time, Johan Cruyff , who always wore the number 14.

Accusation of anti-Semitism

Jongbloed is said to have insulted the Jewish Ajax player Bennie Muller with the words “vuile rot-Jood” (“dirty, rotten Jew”) at the local derby between Ajax Amsterdam and DWS on January 17, 1965 . The incident attracted a lot of attention in the Netherlands, with Jongbloed being suspended from several games.
