Club career

Van Beveren (1977)

Van Beveren grew up as the son of the athlete Wil van Beveren in Amsterdam-Zuid . When he was ten years old, the family moved to Emmen , where he started playing football as a youth at FC Emmen . At the age of 15, he was used in the first team of the club. In 1965 he moved to the honorary division Sparta Rotterdam , with whom he won the KNVB Cup in the first season and competed in the European Cup in the following season . During his time at Sparta, he made his national team debut . He stayed in Rotterdam until 1970, when he went to PSV Eindhoven , for whom he was between the posts in 291 games. In his ten years in Eindhoven he won the championship in 1975 and 1978, the double in 1976 and the UEFA Cup in 1978 . In 1980 he emigrated to the United States and played a few years in the North American Soccer League with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers until the club was relocated to Minnesota . With a season with the Dallas Sidekicks , he let his career end in 1985. He stayed in the United States, where he started his own business with a stamp business and worked as a goalkeeper coach for various clubs.

National team

As a 19-year-old Van Beveren made his debut in the Nederlands elftal on November 29, 1967 . Bond coach Georg Keßler left him in the goal for the full playing time in De Kuip in the 3-1 win against the Soviet Union . In the following years he came to regular missions in the national team; He was also used regularly in qualifying for the 1972 European Championship , including against the GDR team , which won the first leg in Dresden thanks to a goal by Peter Ducke 1-0 and in the second leg in Rotterdam just 2: 3 - Eberhard Vogel overcame van Beveren twice - lost. He stood in all six European Championship qualifying games - as a fielder was only Wim Jansen also in all six qualifiers in action - the goal at the time of František Fadrhonc trained elftal . Despite the successes with PSV, he was only used three times after 1973 and was not part of the Netherlands squad at the World Cups in Germany and Argentina . One of the reasons was an ongoing argument between him and Willy van der Kuijlen on the one hand and Johan Cruyff and Johan Neeskens on the other hand, who preferred the older Jan Jongbloed in the team instead of the leading player van Beveren . In addition, the man who was widely regarded as the best Dutch goalkeeper had to contend with minor injuries before the 1974 World Cup. His last appearance in oranje was on August 31, 1977 a 4-1 win against Iceland , which the national coach Ernst Happel, who was specially hired for the World Cup in Argentina, gave him another chance two years after his penultimate game.
