Lawrence "Law" Adam (born June 11, 1908 in Probolinggo , Dutch East Indies , † May 15, 1941 in the Dutch East Indies) was a Dutch football player .

Adam stayed in Switzerland as an engineering student in the late 1920s , where he played for Grasshopper Zurich . He played his first international match on October 27, 1929 in the jersey of the Swiss national football team at the international match against Austria in Bern . When the Netherlands took on Switzerland for an international match in Zurich a year later , Adam was invited to play in the Oranje- Elf. The game was lost 3: 6 for the Dutch.

In the course of his career, Adam made eleven appearances for the Netherlands between November 1930 and May 1933, scoring six goals. The greatest success was the 2-0 win against Germany in December 1932 in Düsseldorf , in which Adam scored both goals.

In the spring of 1933 Adam moved to the Netherlands and joined HVV Den Haag . But shortly afterwards he had to end his athletic career because of heart problems. Finally, in 1941, at the age of 32, he died of cardiac arrest during a football game in the Dutch East Indies.
