DISCLAIMER! I’ve been reading a lot of comments and many people agree with the list and many disagree, this list is my OPINION, other people are of course entitled to their own opinion too! I am half Dutch myself and a huge supporter of the National Team! In hindsight I think I would have added Gullit in at number 4 and put Robben at 5, however all these players were legends, as were all the many players that didn’t make the list! Thank you for the support! FN
There are too many players that deserve to be on that list. Robbie de Wit, Piet Keizer, Wesley Snijder, Coen Moulin, etc. Everyone's list is different. I also have a different list. Don't worry. It's your channel and your list is great!
Holland has arguably had more top-notch centre-forwards known the world over than any other country since the 70s: Cruyff, Van Basten, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie. For such a small country too. Proud of it.
My list would be: 1. Cruyff 2. Van Basten 3. Bergkamp 4. Gullit 5. Rijkaard Robben could be in it, but I feel he never reached his full potential because of injuries, if Robben would have an injury free carreer he would be ranked among messi and ronaldo nowadays
Seedorf is one of the best players ever, worldwide. First and one of the only players who won the champions league with 3 teams, and he was very important in each of those teams. Seedorf > Van Nistelrooy. But yeah, Gullit, Rijkaard it's hard to pass them with anyone. Too many dutch super superstars throughout the years
Dennis Bergkamp was so good, both Cruyff and Van Basten played in his testimonial. Though I'm surprised that there's no footage of Van Bastens volley in the European cup final against Russia, isn't shown. As that's one of the greatest goals ever.
For me being a Belgian Johan Cruyff is simply the best player ever. Vision, dribbler, shooter, passing. Just a phenomenal player. Forget Maradona, Messi and CR7. Johan was the most complete player ever. The Netherlands have had really top players on every position. Why they have not won a Word Cup yet, is for me a mystery. They have a good young team now and I expect a lot of them on the World Cup in 2022.

When I say Ruud at 5 I did not have much confidence in this top 5, when I saw Dennis at 3 I became silent and focussed, When I saw Johan at 1 I shed a tear and surrendered. This video is great.
Abe lenstra has to be in the top 5. Johan Cruijff had made a team in 2000 ‘oranje van de eeuw’ for a benefit game was Abe Lenstra the only player who was already death but for honour he was in the team. It was fiorentina who send Abe a blank cheque. His wife said ‘ask 1 million’ abe lenstra replied ‘no are you crazy what if they accept it’. so he stayed in the Netherlands. Abe lenstra 47 international matches, 33 goals Johan cruijf 48 international matches, 33 goals
1. Cruijff = changed football in total 2. Van Hamegen = Could control the ball perfectly. Never gave a bad pass and some how was a beast aswell 3. Gullit = The complete footballer 4. Van Basten = Best central striker we ever had 5. Sneijder = the one and only number 10. His nickname the sniper says it all. Could pass perfectly. 100% precision Had to put Sneijder in it. My favorite dutch player.
What a beautifully constructed production. I love the way for each player you played the commentary for their last goal. Also, the music was perfect and would you be able to let me know what it is please.
Actually not only five. Dutch football players are great. They created full team forward and full team defense. They are the pioneer in the football world. Johan cryff was the best. To be honest, Dutch and Brazilian football is an art. They are entertaining the football supporters worldwide in the past and future.
Late to the party but my goodness for a relatively small country what a number of great players, the 1974 team was my favourite but the 88 team was arguably up there. Cruyff at #1 is a no brainer, think folk like Neeskens and Krol deserve consideration (maybe I'm 10/20 years older than the average viewer) too. You've got the right players but how to filter down to just 5. Great footballing nation.
Johan Cruyff is the best football player that ever walked this planet. And probably far beyond. He was Pure Art. I always get tears in my eyes when i see him play in his best years. There were many Great players but there has been only 1 Genius.
I'm surprised that Willy Van Der Kuylen, Abe Lenstra, Wesley Sneijder, Robin Van Persie, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Patrick Kluivert, Rafael Van Der Vaart, Marc Overmars, Faas Wilkes, and Edwin Van Der Sar weren't even given an honorable mention.
Van Nistelrooy shouldn't be in it. This is a more likely ranking: 1. Cruijf 2. Van Basten 3. Van Hanegem 4. Gullit 5. Bergkamp Number 6 and 7 are probably Abe Lenstra(who you can even squeeze in to the top 5) and Arjen Robben. I'd also say that players such as Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Ronald Koeman, Frank Rijkaard, Johan Neeskens, Marc Overmars and Wesley Sneijder were better than Van Nistelrooij
Yeah I'd say Gullit was a more complete play than Van Nistelrooy Tbh it's hard to choose a best five from Holland me and my dad who are both Dutch decided this was probably the best we could come up with but there are many players who could have also been in this list! Thanks for commenting!
@hottreezy pele was a fraud, i know he played in the hardest league at the time and i think he was a great player but everybody says he scored over a thousand goals but that isnt true he scored 11 per match in friendlies against the local fire-department and those goals counted as real official goals
Ruben Oostendorp to me the goals are not so important it's more...almost all dribbles you see nowadays HE did it before. And HE made Brazil the best football country Ever World Champion pretty much by himself at AGE 16!!!
@ekim andersom did you see Gullit, during the PSV-years and esp. his first year in Milan, when he ruled the Serie A, was far better than Maradonna in direct confrontations and made Milan champion, almost on his own. Robben is a great player, Gullit was -at least for 2 years- the best of the world.
Even as a United fan, Ruud Gullit should have been on the list instead of RVN. RVN is a goal scoring machine but not in the way of Gullit or Cruyff. Then again may be Van Basten was also a goal machine.
Thanks for your effort to make a top 5 of Dutch players. But besides of Cruijff, van Basten, Robben and Bergkamp there were many more brilliant players like Abe Lenstra, Willem van Hanegem, Gullit, Rijkaard, Stam, Seedorf, Davids , Jonk, Vanenburg, Overmars, Snijder, van Persie, van der Vaart etc etc etc. So a top 100 should be made to hour all this outstanding players. And it never seems to stop cause the new generation iFrenkie de Jongh, De light, Memphis Depay, Steven Bergwijn, Van Dijk etc. etc. It will become more and more difficult each decennia to make a list which will be accurate.
FootballNerd yes! 100% it’s really though to say who is better for example gullit or robben but you should also look at the statics off the players and then decide which players are better would be awesome!
"Voetbal is de kunst om de bal aan de voet te hebben en die niet te verliezen, om er vervolgens iets constructiefs voor de ploeg mee te doen. Om vanaf elk gebied van het veld de bal op te pikken (desnoods te gaan halen) en naar het andere doel te werken. Om clean en fair acties te maken, assists te geven, zelf te scoren en te verdedigen. Op dat `pakket` moet een voetballer beoordeeld worden want dat is voetbal. Helaas is voor het merendeel de trofee of het doelpunt zelf, bepalend. Volledig onterecht." D10S Lionel Messi! Klaar. Einde discussie.
A great list. Unfortunately there are two players who are forgotten, that you won't see in any list but were two of the best of their era. So here goes my list: 1. Johan Cruyff 2. Abe Lenstra (played in the late 40's and 50's) 3. Faas Wilkes (played in the late 40's and 50's) 4. Willem van Hanegem 5. Arjan Robben Abe Lensta was so good, Fiorentina gave him a blank cheque. He could fill in any amount he wanted to earn. He didn't sign because at that time in Holland Football was regarded as an amateur sport. Sign for a professional club and you would be excluded from playing for the national team. Faas Wilkes did go and became a legend of Inter Milan and Valencia. His position and playing style was like Robben but better in my opinion. Sadly he was for many years excluded from playing for the national team. That's why Holland was such a minor Footbal country in the 40's and 50's. We could not use our best players.
For my opinion Cryuff Van basten Gullit Bergkam Rajkard Keizer Neeskens Nistelroy Koeman Robben Snejder Van persie (I know there are better but I will stick with this list)
I think you missed Ruud Gullit...He is the best after Cruyff ....He was the leader among the Gullit, Basten and Rijkaard Trio...Statistics does not always tell the truth....He was emotional...he had high temper..but he was a character like Maradona....
Even the statistics show Gullit was (one of) the best! 2 euro cups, 1 euro champion, 2 x world player. Lots of goals! Many national championship OR cups.
Agreed on Cruijff and Van Basten, although they should have a shared no 1. But since Cruijff is older, its fine by me :). Bergkamp on 3th is also fine. Kluivert is better than Van Nistelrooy, technically spoken. You could easely have made a top 10 though. Enough legends from NL!
1- Johan Cruijff, (one of) the best of all times and one of the most influential players in the game 2- Marco van Basten, (one of) the best centre striker of all times. Even with his career shortened by injuries. 3- Ruud Gullit, Best player of the World in '87 and '89. Strangely underrated nowadays 4- Ronald Koeman, a beast of a centre back with a huge tally of goals. 5- Arjen Robben, a left foot phenomenon Honorable mentions, Clarence Seedorf, Robin van Persie, Dennis Bergkamp, Willem van Hanegem, Wesley Sneijder, Frank Rijkaard, Virgil van Dijk, Ruud van Nistelrooy
Lists of best players are most of the time strikers, the people who score goals. Rarely a midfielder or defender. Clarence Seedorf was good at his clubs but never in the Dutch team.
Clarence Seedorf was indeed a great player. However due some problems in the Dutch National team, he was not selected anymore. Therefore he probably did not make the top 5.
1. Cruijff 2. Van Basten 3. Van Hanegem 4. Gullit 5. Bergkamp I know there are a lot more great players like Neeskens, Rensenbrink and Rijkaard but I have not watched any footage of them (yet).
Considering greatness in my opinion top 10 is : 1. Cruyff 2. Van Basten 3. Gullit 4. Van Hanegem 5. Rijkaard 6. Bergkamp 7. Robben 8. Neeskens 9. Seedorf 10. R. Koeman 11. Krol 12. Van der sar 13. Rensenbrink 14. Wilkes 15. Davids Honorable mentions : Van Nistelrooy, Lenstra, Kiezer
Abe Lenstra got send a blank cheque by Fiorentina in the 50’s. That’s how bad they wanted him. He didn’t sign the cheque. Faas Wilkes wasn’t allowed to play for Holland by the KNVB because he was a professional playing for Inter Milan. When they finally allowed him to play he scored so many goals that his record stood till Kluivert broke it nearly 40 years later. So here’s my list. 1 Marco van Basten 2 Johan Cruyff 3 Faas Wilkes 4 Abe Lenstra. 5 Frank Rijkaard
This are legends in no ranking Cruyff Van basten Van hamegen Nistelrooy Van bommel Rijkaard Boulaharouz Koeman Gullit Haan Bergkamp Affelay Van der vaart Bakal Kluivert Davids Seedorf Bongarde Reiziger De boer De boer Robben Sneijder Strootman Cillesen Van persie Huntelaar Kuyt Drenthe Babel Vennegoor of hesselink Landzaat Van der sar Stekelenburg
A top 10 would be more fitting with Sneijder, Van De Sar, Van Hanegem, Koeman, Gullit added and Van Nistelrooy at 10 maybe or lower based on his value for The Netherlands.
You chose the best attacking players.. but Ruud Gullit was a beast, he defended, ran to the midfield to play a one-two, then ran up to the front to score the goal.. Ran all over the field for 90+ minutes, guy had 2 pairs of lungs.. He really was a class apart and definitely should be in the list.. But it's hard to compare players of course.. how do you rate a top-defender or even midfielder? Davids, Seedorf, etc.. are they worse than Robben? [who was a superior dribbler, but that's about it..] I think, if you could clone one player and have a team with eleven of those you're best of cloning Ruud Gullit.. :P
Very true! the Netherlands have had so many good players its hard to come up with a definite top 10 and there are so many other players that could have made it on here!
1.Cruyff 2.gullit 3.Ruud Van Nistelrooy( best finisher and a monster) 4. Bergkamp 5. Either Van Basten or Robben HM: Rijkard , Overmars , sneijder .....
1 Johan Cruijff 2 Marco van Basten 3 Ruud Gullit 4 Willem van Hanegem 5 Dennis Bergkamp 6 Frank Rijkaard 7 Arjen Robben 8 Wesley Sneijder 9 Ronald Koeman 10 Clarence Seedorf 11 Rob Rensenbrink 12 Robin van Persie 13 Faas Wilkes 14 Ruud van Nistelrooy 15 Jaap Stam 16 Piet Keizer 17 Edwin van der Sar 18 Johan Neeskens 19 Willy van der Kuijlen 20 Ruud Krol 21 Patrick Kluivert 22 Arie Haan 23 Rafael van der Vaart 24 Frank de Boer 25 Ronald de Boer
Je bedoelt Lucius 'Loek' Timmermans, de onvergetelijke libero van het 6e van Fc Hattem? Werd, volgens mij, 3x uitgeroepen tot 'Man of the Match' in de wedstrijden tegen Fc Schelle Verenigd U. Krijg nu nog kippenvel als ik eraan terugdenk.
Very good. In lists like these players from before 1970 are often ignored. Also Faas Wilkes could be mentioned. He was one of the first Dutch players to play abroad and became a star at Inter Milan. He also played for Torino and Valencia (Spain).
@@doncarloancelotti2256 Somewhere in the top 50 perhaps. Defenders, no matter how good can never compete with creative players when it comes to being the best footballers. When kids start paying all want to be strikers or wingers or 'nr. 10's', but when they're not thát great the coach will place them one or two lines back. Many famous defenders started as attackers but due to a lack of quality or pace focused on becoming wing defenders, never happens the other way around.
@@laziojohnny79 and while defending, Koeman can score goals like an attacker while assisting like a midfielder. His versatility is what earns him up there with the other legends.
@@doncarloancelotti2256 No he couldn't, he was slow as thick shit and had a turning circle of a touringcar, great 'nr. 4' or libero, but nowhere near the best 20 players we had. FYI: I've seen him play in real life for years as I have most other top 50 Dutch players.
Some of the best attackers the Dutch ever had. Miss Ruud Gullit though, he could play everywhere on the pitch. As for 5 top midfielders I was thinking about Rijkaard (allthough he easily could play central defender), Neeskens, van Hanegem, Cocu, and Seedorf. And for topdefenders, Koeman, Krol, Stam, Suurbier, van Dijk. Goalkeeprs, van der Sar and van Beveren. And to think that I left out van der Kuijlen, Rep, Rensenbrink, Sneijder, W. van de Kerkhof, van Persie, Robben, Janssen, Jonk, Rijsbergen and many more. Luckily the Dutch have a very talented group of players with de Ligt, de Jong, Depay and Wijnaldum.
Cruijff wasn’t only beatiful for his playing ability but his “ball knowledge” he told the coach where the players needed to play told a defender to play striker they believed him. He knew everything and changed the game as we know it today! He invented constant pressure and at the time defenders weren’t really ballers they just defended Cruijff changed that formule. He has the most football knowledge of all time really
Bergkamp heb ik in Groningen in het internationale A jeugd toernooi zien spielen. Op de linker vleugel speelde een hele technische speler die nooit echt is doorgebroken. Wie weet zijn naam nog?
Top great legendary players indeed, but how about patrick kluivert, marco from basten,mark overmars,willen from hanigen and clarence seedorf etc,,,, they were also fantastic players.
I find it awesome that everyone disagrees in the comments, considering they're adding people...! So many great players to choose from, and to think they're all from a country where just about 17 million people live. Pretty amazing.
im not dutch, but i think bergkamp amd rensenbrink deserves more credit. cruyff>van basten>bergkamp>gullit>robben>rensenbrink>van haanegem>krol>neeskens>wilkes just my opinion.
One who could have been in this list from Cruijff's era, was Willie Dullens, but sadly he got a injury that stopped his career, many say he was at the time he had to quit ( very young ) as good or a shade better then cruijff.
Probably you are lucky to be very young. I could easily give you a list of players who have been more important than Robben, even though he is undoubtedly a great player. But what about: Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten, Van Hanegem, to name a few...
1. Johan Cruyff best player that happend to football in my opinion 2. Clarence Seedorf 3. Ruud Gullit 4. Dennis Bergkamp 5. Arjen Robben But.. Dont forget we got alot of talent upcoming Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de ligt And also a forgotten talent Joël Veltman. (and we got koolwijk)

I thought thecsame thing with Ruud at 5. I was prepering my Robben > Van Nistelrooy response. OP did not let me down.

Clarence Seedorf.has to be in the top 5 no doubt about that most underrated player ever
Gullit, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Davids, the current manager Koeman was a tremendous player.
Bergkamp is by far the most technical player
KW75 alle nederlanders krijgen deze nu in recommendation😂
Yes, agree if not compare by the trophy they got, Bergkamp skills is fantastic
Gerald Vanenburg
Je bedoeld Arjan Robben. Wat een gigant 3 en 4 man passeren en goals maken vanuit een onmoigelijke positie op zijn 35e. Niet te evenaren
No , Cruyff was
Robben had a ball control like no other Dutch player I've ever seen. It's a shame he didn't get his WC but he definitely deserved it.

It truly demonstrates how the number of people doesn’t matter, a small nation can still produce some legendary players!
Thanks, and we have still some nice players coming!
Johan Cruyff is the best football player that ever walked this planet. And probably far beyond. He was Pure Art. I always get tears in my eyes when i see him play in his best years. There were many Great players but there has been only 1 Genius.
The way he played was magical, it's as if he saw the game differently to anyone else and he revolutionized football as both a player and manager

This is a great list, sadly van hanegem has been really underrated
I think Nistelroi was great as a striker...but as a football player Gullit was way more better than him....
Yeah I'd say Gullit was a more complete play than Van Nistelrooy

Thank you for the comment! Holland have had so many great players it’s hard to make one true top 5!
Cruyff better than Pele and Maradona in my opinion.
Could accelerate in a sprint and made moves that made the world go ''WOW!''
Thom Klinkenberg Pele will never get the recognition he deserves because he's "black". By far the best ever.
@hottreezy pele was a fraud, i know he played in the hardest league at the time and i think he was a great player but everybody says he scored over a thousand goals but that isnt true he scored 11 per match in friendlies against the local fire-department and those goals counted as real official goals
Ruben Oostendorp to me the goals are not so important it's more...almost all dribbles you see nowadays HE did it before. And HE made Brazil the best football country Ever World Champion pretty much by himself at AGE 16!!!
Clerence Seedorf is the best dutch player of all time!!!
Pelé scores alot of his goals fa younger teams or from lower competitions. Cruyff played for Barcelona, Ajax, Feyenoord.
1. Melvin Platje

Even as a United fan, Ruud Gullit should have been on the list instead of RVN. RVN is a goal scoring machine but not in the way of Gullit or Cruyff. Then again may be Van Basten was also a goal machine.
We have too many great players for a top 5...
Thanks for your effort to make a top 5 of Dutch players. But besides of Cruijff, van Basten, Robben and Bergkamp there were many more brilliant players like Abe Lenstra, Willem van Hanegem, Gullit, Rijkaard, Stam, Seedorf, Davids , Jonk, Vanenburg, Overmars, Snijder, van Persie, van der Vaart etc etc etc. So a top 100 should be made to hour all this outstanding players. And it never seems to stop cause the new generation iFrenkie de Jongh, De light, Memphis Depay, Steven Bergwijn, Van Dijk etc. etc. It will become more and more difficult each decennia to make a list which will be accurate.
Thanks for the comment! Should I make a top 10 video so we can include more players?
FootballNerd yes! 100% it’s really though to say who is better for example gullit or robben but you should also look at the statics off the players and then decide which players are better would be awesome!
@@footballnerd1895 make a top 15 or 20 I think that would give a good impression. And also look at the oldies like Abe Lenstra and Willem van hanegem
@@footballnerd1895 Make a top 100 as suggested, or even a top 10 for each position!
"Voetbal is de kunst om de bal aan de voet te hebben en die niet te verliezen, om er vervolgens iets constructiefs voor de ploeg mee te doen. Om vanaf elk gebied van het veld de bal op te pikken (desnoods te gaan halen) en naar het andere doel te werken. Om clean en fair acties te maken, assists te geven, zelf te scoren en te verdedigen. Op dat `pakket` moet een voetballer beoordeeld worden want dat is voetbal. Helaas is voor het merendeel de trofee of het doelpunt zelf, bepalend. Volledig onterecht."
D10S Lionel Messi! Klaar. Einde discussie.
Ja, zeker! Dat is waar!
Ik vind dat juichen van van nistelrooij nog steeda prachtig haha
A great list. Unfortunately there are two players who are forgotten, that you won't see in any list but were two of the best of their era. So here goes my list:
1. Johan Cruyff
2. Abe Lenstra (played in the late 40's and 50's)
3. Faas Wilkes (played in the late 40's and 50's)
4. Willem van Hanegem
5. Arjan Robben
Abe Lensta was so good, Fiorentina gave him a blank cheque. He could fill in any amount he wanted to earn. He didn't sign because at that time in Holland Football was regarded as an amateur sport. Sign for a professional club and you would be excluded from playing for the national team. Faas Wilkes did go and became a legend of Inter Milan and Valencia. His position and playing style was like Robben but better in my opinion. Sadly he was for many years excluded from playing for the national team. That's why Holland was such a minor Footbal country in the 40's and 50's. We could not use our best players.
Great country with with lots of good players this country should have won 2 World Cup but am pretty sure it's just a matter of time
What a cool finisher van nisstelroy was, top class.
John cruyff the white Pele. Cruyff was not only one of best ever but cruyff was an amazing football artist.
My top five would be:
1. beugelsdijk
2. Henk veerman
3. Bruno Martins indi
4. Daley blind
5. Gerard Joling
where is jeroen verhoeven? ooooooooooh pizza
I'm missing Patricia Paay in this list. Would have won the golden ball easily if she was a man.
Niet met je eens, Gerald Joling mag nog geen eens de schoenen poetsen van Jan Smit, voor de rest is je lijst niet verkeerd! Rustaggggg;)
Hahahaha
Cruyff is my favorite and my legend footbellers ever 😇
Look at the faboulos film 99 goals with Bayern Munchen. The very best Dutch player
@@TheElvisHolland let see 👀
For my opinion
Cryuff
Van basten
Gullit
Bergkam
Rajkard
Keizer
Neeskens
Nistelroy
Koeman
Robben
Snejder
Van persie (I know there are better but I will stick with this list)
1. Van Basten
2. Cruyff
3. Gullit.
4. Bergamp
5. Ryakard
I think you missed Ruud Gullit...He is the best after Cruyff ....He was the leader among the Gullit, Basten and Rijkaard Trio...Statistics does not always tell the truth....He was emotional...he had high temper..but he was
a character like Maradona....
shovon203 he was a warrior! I could've have put many other players in this list, should've made an honorable mentions part ahah
Thanks for commenting!
and a great athlete! His physique is impressive, even among professional sporters
Even the statistics show Gullit was (one of) the best! 2 euro cups, 1 euro champion, 2 x world player. Lots of goals! Many national championship OR cups.
Agreed on Cruijff and Van Basten, although they should have a shared no 1. But since Cruijff is older, its fine by me :). Bergkamp on 3th is also fine. Kluivert is better than Van Nistelrooy, technically spoken. You could easely have made a top 10 though. Enough legends from NL!
1. J.C 14
2. Bergkamp
3. V Basten
4. Robben
5.René Eijkelkamp
icebear003
Haal die kamp er ff af gozer
Ik twijfelde nog tussen René en Patrick Paauwe
You definitely forgot van Hanegem! He was after Cruyff the best player the Netherlands ever had.
1- Johan Cruijff, (one of) the best of all times and one of the most influential players in the game
2- Marco van Basten, (one of) the best centre striker of all times. Even with his career shortened by injuries.
3- Ruud Gullit, Best player of the World in '87 and '89. Strangely underrated nowadays
4- Ronald Koeman, a beast of a centre back with a huge tally of goals.
5- Arjen Robben, a left foot phenomenon
Honorable mentions, Clarence Seedorf, Robin van Persie, Dennis Bergkamp, Willem van Hanegem, Wesley Sneijder, Frank Rijkaard, Virgil van Dijk, Ruud van Nistelrooy
I think you are missing the one player who won most prizes....and most allround player... Clarence Seedorf!
most prizes robben has 27 ..and seedorf 23... facts,, qqq (and robben can get another 1 ...;-)
Yuneva (Inventory Management) he is to black
Seedorf ftw
Lists of best players are most of the time strikers, the people who score goals. Rarely a midfielder or defender. Clarence Seedorf was good at his clubs but never in the Dutch team.
Clarence Seedorf was indeed a great player. However due some problems in the Dutch National team, he was not selected anymore. Therefore he probably did not make the top 5.
If i do my Top5: Cruijff,VanBasten,Rensenbrink, Neeskens,VanHaneghem
Over de nummers 2 t/m 5 kunnen we discussiëren, de nummer 1 staat bij iedereen vast. Die verandert nooit meer
It’s nice how the music changed when the Cruijff part came, very fitting
1. Cruijff
2. Van Basten
3. Van Hanegem
4. Gullit
5. Bergkamp
I know there are a lot more great players like Neeskens, Rensenbrink and Rijkaard but I have not watched any footage of them (yet).
I totally agree with Tjibbe.
Wow so you know Gullit because he is on your list, but how is it possible you not knowing Rijkaard 😂
They where members of AC Milan and the Dutch team at the height of their peak.So if you know Gullit then it is strange not knowing Rijkaard.
Considering greatness in my opinion top 10 is :
1. Cruyff
2. Van Basten
3. Gullit
4. Van Hanegem
5. Rijkaard
6. Bergkamp
7. Robben
8. Neeskens
9. Seedorf
10. R. Koeman
11. Krol
12. Van der sar
13. Rensenbrink
14. Wilkes
15. Davids
Honorable mentions : Van Nistelrooy, Lenstra, Kiezer
Krol ?
Cruijff, Lenstra, Jan van Beveren(goalkeeper, best ever imho), V Basten, Gullit.
Thanks mate great job,what great players they all were for me van basten was the king,brought back some great memories. 👍
Abe Lenstra got send a blank cheque by Fiorentina in the 50’s. That’s how bad they wanted him. He didn’t sign the cheque.
Faas Wilkes wasn’t allowed to play for Holland by the KNVB because he was a professional playing for Inter Milan. When they finally allowed him to play he scored so many goals that his record stood till Kluivert broke it nearly 40 years later. So here’s my list.
1 Marco van Basten
2 Johan Cruyff
3 Faas Wilkes
4 Abe Lenstra.
5 Frank Rijkaard
It was fiorentina who sent him a blank cheque

4. Abe Lenstra
5. Dennis Bergkamp
Abe Lenstra wasn't from the Netherlands. He was from Friesland, a small area just outside of the Netherlands.
A top 10 would be more fitting with Sneijder, Van De Sar, Van Hanegem, Koeman, Gullit added and Van Nistelrooy at 10 maybe or lower based on his value for The Netherlands.
Vd Sar? Jan van Beveren is by far the best Dutch goalkeeper ever
Lol, Sneijder who? He's way too overrated.

You chose the best attacking players.. but Ruud Gullit was a beast, he defended, ran to the midfield to play a one-two, then ran up to the front to score the goal.. Ran all over the field for 90+ minutes, guy had 2 pairs of lungs..
He really was a class apart and definitely should be in the list.. But it's hard to compare players of course.. how do you rate a top-defender or even midfielder? Davids, Seedorf, etc.. are they worse than Robben? [who was a superior dribbler, but that's about it..]
I think, if you could clone one player and have a team with eleven of those you're best of cloning Ruud Gullit.. :P
Very true! the Netherlands have had so many good players its hard to come up with a definite top 10 and there are so many other players that could have made it on here!
I agree with this list perfectly
Waar zijn Piet Keizer en Faas Wilkes?
You were a legend we will never forget you Johan Cruijff 💪💪💪💪💪

And none of them needed to show off with knee skids after scoring (though I'd like to know what Van Nistelrooy was doing at 1:30)
Cruyff , van Hanegem, Seedorf, van Basten and Bergkamp
Waarom staat Loek Timmermans van fc Hattem er niet bij ?
Je bedoelt Lucius 'Loek' Timmermans, de onvergetelijke libero van het 6e van Fc Hattem? Werd, volgens mij, 3x uitgeroepen tot 'Man of the Match' in de wedstrijden tegen Fc Schelle Verenigd U. Krijg nu nog kippenvel als ik eraan terugdenk.
0:50 thought that dude was a manchester ronaldo until i saw number 10.
The list is all good but just wondered why the van Basten cycle wasn't topped of with the astounding goal against Russia...
I tried but it got taken down for copyright :/ thanks for the support though!
@@footballnerd1895 understood. Too bad. Thanks for the reply. Appreciated 👍
How could you not end the Van Basten segment with his goal against Russia in 88?

5: Kluivert
Abe Lenstra? 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Very good. In lists like these players from before 1970 are often ignored. Also Faas Wilkes could be mentioned. He was one of the first Dutch players to play abroad and became a star at Inter Milan. He also played for Torino and Valencia (Spain).

@@doncarloancelotti2256 Somewhere in the top 50 perhaps.
Defenders, no matter how good can never compete with creative players when it comes to being the best footballers.
When kids start paying all want to be strikers or wingers or 'nr. 10's', but when they're not thát great the coach will place them one or two lines back.
Many famous defenders started as attackers but due to a lack of quality or pace focused on becoming wing defenders, never happens the other way around.
@@laziojohnny79 and while defending, Koeman can score goals like an attacker while assisting like a midfielder. His versatility is what earns him up there with the other legends.
@@doncarloancelotti2256 No he couldn't, he was slow as thick shit and had a turning circle of a touringcar, great 'nr. 4' or libero, but nowhere near the best 20 players we had. FYI: I've seen him play in real life for years as I have most other top 50 Dutch players.
Some of the best attackers the Dutch ever had. Miss Ruud Gullit though, he could play everywhere on the pitch. As for 5 top midfielders I was thinking about Rijkaard (allthough he easily could play central defender), Neeskens, van Hanegem, Cocu, and Seedorf. And for topdefenders, Koeman, Krol, Stam, Suurbier, van Dijk. Goalkeeprs, van der Sar and van Beveren. And to think that I left out van der Kuijlen, Rep, Rensenbrink, Sneijder, W. van de Kerkhof, van Persie, Robben, Janssen, Jonk, Rijsbergen and many more. Luckily the Dutch have a very talented group of players with de Ligt, de Jong, Depay and Wijnaldum.
I’m very hopeful for the future of Dutch football!
Back in the days, the celebrations were normal...
Cruijff wasn’t only beatiful for his playing ability but his “ball knowledge” he told the coach where the players needed to play told a defender to play striker they believed him. He knew everything and changed the game as we know it today! He invented constant pressure and at the time defenders weren’t really ballers they just defended Cruijff changed that formule. He has the most football knowledge of all time really

Bergkamp heb ik in Groningen in het internationale A jeugd toernooi zien spielen. Op de linker vleugel speelde een hele technische speler die nooit echt is doorgebroken. Wie weet zijn naam nog?
Hoe zag hij eruit?
heel Engeland
Top great legendary players indeed, but how about patrick kluivert, marco from basten,mark overmars,willen from hanigen and clarence seedorf etc,,,, they were also fantastic players.
Rob Rensenbrink
I find it awesome that everyone disagrees in the comments, considering they're adding people...! So many great players to choose from, and to think they're all from a country where just about 17 million people live. Pretty amazing.
Bergkamp was undoubtedly most hocus pocus though. A wizard pur sang.
im not dutch, but i think bergkamp amd rensenbrink deserves more credit.
cruyff>van basten>bergkamp>gullit>robben>rensenbrink>van haanegem>krol>neeskens>wilkes
just my opinion.
Seedorf
WAT TE DENKEN VAN PIET KEIZER !!
your opinion misses Rijkaard, Sneijder, Seedorf.
One who could have been in this list from Cruijff's era, was Willie Dullens, but sadly he got a injury that stopped his career, many say he was at the time he had to quit ( very young ) as good or a shade better then cruijff.
Maybe Bergkamp was the best player, but not most valuable.
Robben, after Cruijff maybe the most valuable player ever from the Netherlands.
Probably you are lucky to be very young. I could easily give you a list of players who have been more important than Robben, even though he is undoubtedly a great player. But what about: Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten, Van Hanegem, to name a few...
Depends how you see it,Seedorf won the most, one of a kind player
1. Johan Cruyff best player that happend to football in my opinion
2. Clarence Seedorf
3. Ruud Gullit
4. Dennis Bergkamp
5. Arjen Robben
But.. Dont forget we got alot of talent upcoming Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de ligt
And also a forgotten talent Joël Veltman. (and we got koolwijk)
1. CRUYFF
2. Van Basten
3. Bergkamp
4. Ruud Gullit
5. Robben.
I think this is the correct top 5. Just that Robben should be in No 2 position
The list is oke! but so many more legends to choose from.
