The European champions of 1988 were coached by Rinus Michels. Frank Rijkaard, Ruud Gullit, Ronald Koeman and Marco van Basten were among the players in that squad. Their triumph gave the orange shirt a lasting association with one of the country’s most celebrated tournaments.

Early Dutch football included figures such as Bok de Korver and Harry Denis, followed by Puck van Heel, Kick Smit and Beb Bakhuys. Later names such as Abe Lenstra, Faas Wilkes, Kees Rijvers and Cor van der Hart belong to the years before the teams best known to many modern supporters.
