Bouvy (Olympic Games 1912)

Nicolaas Jan Jerôme "Nico" Bouvy (born July 11, 1892 in Banda Neira , Maluku , † June 14, 1957 in The Hague , South Holland ) was a Dutch football player . At club level, the striker played for the Dordrechtsche Football Club from which today's FC Dordrecht emerged . With the Netherlands he won the bronze medal at the 1912 Olympic Games.

On his debut in the Dutch national football team, he was defeated with this on March 16, 1912 in the stadium on Alaby Road of Kingston upon Hull in Yorkshire in front of 12,000 spectators with 0: 4 against the hosts. It should be noted that in that era the English only competed with their amateur national team against teams from the continent. The coach of the so-called Elftal was at that time the Englishman Edgar Chadwick , as a player in 1891 champion with Everton FC . In June and July, Nico Bouvy took part with the national team at the Olympic Games in Stockholm . In the first game he scored his first two international goals in a 4-3 win against the hosts at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium . In the next game he contributed to the 3-1 victory over Austria with another goal. In the semifinals, the Netherlands lost 4-1 to Denmark, but then won the bronze medal match against Finland at Råsundastadion 9-0.

Towards the end of the year he came in his eighth game for the Elftal , a friendly against Germany, in front of 20,000 spectators in Leipzig to a 3-2 success. In 1913 he went on three more missions, all of them on friendly terms. First in a 3: 3 in Belgium. In April he played his only international match on home soil in Zwolle . In the game against Belgium he was able to reduce the penalty to 1: 2, but in the end the guests won 4: 2. He played his last game for the Netherlands where he started his national team career. In the stadium on Anlaby Road, the captain and star striker of hosts Vivian Woodward was only able to secure the English 2-1 victory nine minutes before the end of the game. In a total of nine games for the Netherlands, he scored four goals.

In the autumn series 1913/14 Nico Bouvy was active as a player- coach at Altona 93 and in fact he ran as Altona on that last international match. Two weeks later he scored two goals for 93 to 5-1 at Eintracht Hannover on the side of Adolf Jäger . Several years later, in May 1924, he played one-time for Victoria Hamburg against Cardiff City with a special permit from the DFB . His older brothers Jacques and Dolf had also played with the “Zitronen” in Hamburg, Jacques also with the Karlsruher FV .
