Career

society

Bosman began his professional career at the top Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam . There he made his debut in the first division team on November 20, 1983 in a 5-2 win over Roda JC Kerkrade . In this game he also got his first goal for the red and white. In five years at Ajax, the attacker completed 165 competitive games, scoring a total of 105 goals and winning the Dutch championship in 1985 and the KNVB Cup in 1986 and 1987 . The greatest success came after the end of the 1986/87 game, when the Amsterdammers were able to prevail in the European Cup Winners' Cup . In the final against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig , Bosman was not used. During this time he was in constant competition with Marco van Basten . After van Basten moved to AC Milan in the summer of 1987 , Bosman rose to become his team's top scorer. In 1988, the striker followed the call of his former coach Aad de Mos and moved to the Belgian team KV Mechelen . There he managed to win the championship with his team . After two years, Bosman moved back to his home country to PSV Eindhoven , where he was supposed to replace the emigrated Wim Kieft . However, he did not get along in his role as an "opportunity supplier" for Romário , felt uncomfortable and was soon replaced by Twan Scheepers . PSV were champions, but Bosman was drawn back to Belgium. He signed a new contract with RSC Anderlecht . There he met his old teammates from Mechelen times Graeme Rutjes and Bruno Versavel as well as coach de Mos. In five years six titles were won with Anderlecht. In 1993 Johan Boskamp became the new coach in Anderlecht. From 1996 onwards, Bosman had more and more seats on the bench, so that he was concerned with emigration thoughts. So in the summer of 1996 he finally moved to FC Twente Enschede , back to the Netherlands. In the first year he became the team's best attacker. In the following year he defended this position, but had to share it with compatriot Jan van Halst and the Finn Antti Sumiala . After three years he moved within the league to competitor AZ Alkmaar . After three more seasons, he announced the end of his career.

National team

Bosman completed 30 international matches for the Dutch national football team and scored 17 goals. During a European Championship qualifying game on October 28, 1987 against Cyprus, the attacker scored five goals. He was later appointed by Bond trainer Rinus Michels to the squad for the 1988 European Championship . When the Dutch won the title, Bosmann made two appearances in the first two group matches. He was then exchanged for Marco van Basten . Six years later he took part in the 1994 World Cup in the USA .

For the 1992 Euro and 1990 World Cup, Bosman was not included.
