In 2011, I was at the Europa League match Spartak - Ajax and came to see the action of the pot-bellied goalkeeper Jeroen Verhoeven. According to Dmitry Bulykin, this fatty flew around the nines in training, despite his 110 kg of weight and the nickname Pizza. Ajax is a great club with a great tradition of setting trends, Edwin van der Sar was great at playing with his feet, although all his colleagues could not get used to the fact that you can't take the ball in your hands from your own. Another trend in the frame was set by the legendary Piet Schrijvers, who had a million nicknames, one of which was The Bear from De Meer, a former stadium of Ajax. His weight did not prevent Piet from playing for the national team for 14 years, but in the finals of the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, it was not he who jumped in the goal, but his competitor Jongblood. Such is the drama of his career. And the only time Pete was presented with flowers is captured in this photo: it was his 300th match for Ajax.
