Kees Rijvers - Goals in International Matches


The outstanding Dutch player scored 10 international goals in 33 matches for his National Team.

Together with Abe Lenstra and Faas Wilkes, Kees Rijvers formed the gouden binnentrio, three inside forwards of international class during a time Dutch football was mired in mediocrity due to the refusal of the authorities to admit professionalism.

His national team career is the twelfth longest in the history of the Dutch national team.

All matches are friendlies unless stated otherwise.
