Joop de Kubber

de Kubber (l), with van Tuyl and Louis Biesbrouck (1949)

Joop de Kubber (born May 7, 1928 in Goes ; † July 10, 2002 ; also Jep de Kubber ) was a Dutch football player .

Already at the age of 22, de Kubber went professional in the French league , where he occupied the left side of the Girondins de Bordeaux together with Bertus de Harder . Six years later, the Dutchman went back home, where professional football had also been introduced. De Kubber played here at Beroeps Voetbalclub Amsterdam , which merged with DWS to form DWS / A in 1958 , for which de Kubber was active until 1960.

His only calling for a Dutch national team was his participation in the Watersnoodwedstrijd , a charity match between Dutch foreign professionals against France in Paris in March 1953 , in which he also played alongside de Harder for the victims of the 1953 flood disaster . In 1956, the KNVB's selection committee was about to appoint de Kubber to the senior national team for Jan Klaassens , the less technically experienced “football worker” . When de Kubber heard that Klaassens had burst into tears at this decision, he refrained from a mission in Oranje out of pity for the Venloer .
