Eredivisie 1983/84 In the first season back in the top flight since over a decade, FC Den Bosch stunts in the home match with Ajax: 3-0, starring Wim van der Horst, who scores all three goals in the second half. Here all details on FC Den Bosch-Ajax, October 16, 1983. They also end up to be the only team, with PSV, not to lose against the eventual champions, Feyenoord. Both matches against the Rotterdam team led by the aging but still masterful Cruijff and the young soon-to-be-star Gullit finish 1-1. All in all, the eredivisie proves far from too big for Den Bosch, in spite of a hesitating start. PSV is the only team to beat them twice, and especially at De Vliert Den Bosch prove to be more than a match for their opponents, eventually securing a highly respectable tenth place with 33 points from 34 matches, scoring in all of their last sixteen matches.
