Jan Jongbloed
His career began in 1959 defending goal for DWS, a small club from his hometown Amsterdam. This won the newly promoted title in the 1963–1964 season and in 1972 it was transformed, with a merger, into FC Amsterdam. Jongbloed moved to Roda JC in 1977, then to Go Ahead Eagles in 1981, before ending his career at 45 due to a heart attack; having played his last game in the Go Ahead Eagles at the age of 44 years, 9 months and 14 days he is still the oldest player to have played a game in the Eredivisie. He is also still the record holder for the number of matches played in professional football (707).
