Retirement

After his career he would serve the club for many years in many occupations.[2] He was a youth coach, a scout, a board member as well as a technical director. He was decorated Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 2004.[3] In June 2010 he served Feyenoord for a total of 70 years.

Widely regarded as a real club icon, he died of pneumonia, aged 84, on 8 November 2010.[4]
