Johnny Rep
At the UEFA Euro 1976, the Netherlands reached the semi-finals after advancing the preliminary group stage on better goal difference than Poland and having scrambled Belgium in the quarter-finals with a clear 5-0 first leg and a 2-1 second leg (with goals from Rep). In the semifinals, the Netherlands were eliminated by Czechoslovakia, losing 3-1 in a very violent match, which ended in ten against nine after extra time and played on a flooded pitch. The Netherlands will win the final against Yugoslavia 3-2 and finish third.
