[1] The hosts were a combination of players from FC Rouen and Havre AC (Rouen played
at the French first level, Havre at the second, but were promoted at the end of
the season); as the hosts were not a national team and included three foreign
nationals, it is not clear why the K.N.V.B. considered this match official for
Netherlands B rather than a friendly against a club side or combination, but
presumably that was because this match was seen in connection with the match
between the Netherlands and France (A-teams) in Amsterdam on the same day.
[2] The Finnish federation does not consider this match as one played by Finland B,
the opponents listed by the Dutch federation; note that a full international
between both A-teams had been played four days earlier in Rotterdam; for the
second match, Finland fielded five players from that match and the six reserve
players who had also travelled.
[3] The Dutch federation announced this match, played one day before the meeting of
the two A-teams in Denmark, as one between two B-teams; the Danish federation
lists it among the matches of the national U-21 side.
[4] The Luxembourg federation incorrectly lists their opponents as South Netherlands.

This section is work in progress. Additional information (in particular on missing first names of players) is of course most welcome; so are corrections.
Note that various clubs from Flanders are referred to by their French names
(AA La Gantoise, CS Brugeois, FC Brugeois, FC Malinois, RC de Gand, RC de Malines)
as was customary until long into the second half of the twentieth century (AA Gent
officially changed their name to its Dutch version in 1971, Cercle Brugge in 1968,
Club Brugge in 1972, KV Mechelen in 1970 and Racing Gent in 1967; however,
Racing Mechelen did so already in 1937).
Likewise, as usual at the time, abbreviated Dutch club names still have the
dots which have unfortunately disappeared nowadays.

70' Kuneman 4-1

Jorma Vaihela (RU-38), Pertti Vanhanen (KPV), Mauri Vanhanen (KPV),
Seppo Pelkonen (JoPS), Olof Stolpe (VIFK);
referee: Leo Horn (Netherlands).
NB: Finland A had drawn 4-4 against Netherlands A in Rotterdam four days earlier;
five players (Martin, Myntti, Vaihela, Pelkonen and Stolpe) who had played in
that match took the field again, along with six reserve players; as only six
reserve players were reported in the Dutch press for the first match, these
are all included in the line-up above although Suojanen and Vainio are not
explicitly mentioned in any of the available match reports (which is why they
are listed in italics);
the Finnish FA does not include this match among those of Finland B as listed
in [SPL 57] (pp. 115-116); according to wikipedia they played as "Helsinki",
which (if true) would have been a misnomer as the vast majority of the players
was from clubs from outside the capital.

NB: attendance reported as 10,000; Bleijenberg had been a late replacement for the
originally selected Rinus Michels (Ajax), while Kernen and Mella had replaced
Ivo Frosio and Roger Vonlanthen (both Grasshopper CZ), who were dropped after
their club had suffered a 4-7 loss to Young Boys in spite of having led 3-1 at
half-time.

unused subs: Arve Egner, Bjarne Hansen (Vålerengens IF),
Tor Hansen, Arne Fredrik Høivik (Eik IF);
referee: Albert Meißner (West Germany).
NB: attendance reported as 20,000; Yntema replaced Corbran but his (white) shirt was
torn apart; he then tried to continue playing in his (dark) training suit, as no
other white shirt was available, but the referee did not allow that and he had to
leave the field (85'); the NFF lists its line-up for this match on its site.

4-10-1959 Luxembourg Luxembourg 1-3 Netherlands B
Goals: 25' Kerkhoffs 0-1, 29' Janssen 0-2, 64' Bosselaar 0-3, 89' Dimmer 1-3
Luxembourg: Ferdy Lahure (Progrès Niedercorn);
Ernest Brenner (Stade Dudelange)), Victor Heinen (Jeunesse d'Esch);
Jean-Pierre Mertl (US Luxembourg), René Pascucci (Jeunesse d'Esch), François Konter (Chiers Rodange);
Camille Dimmer (Anderlecht), René Schneider (The National) [46' Gilbert Meylender (Stade Dudelange)],
Ernest Jann (Jeunesse d'Esch), Nicolas Kettel (Stade Dudelange), Albert Schaack (Jeunesse d'Esch);
trainer: Pierre Sinibaldi;
Netherlands B: Rob van Heeswijk (Blauw-Wit);
Harry Brüll (Rapid J.C.), Cor Veldhoen (Feijenoord);
Bennie Muller (Ajax), Jo Walhout (Feijenoord), Hans de Koning (Sparta);
Tinus Bosselaar (Sparta), Henk Groot (Ajax), Henk Janssen (Stormvogels),
Pierre Kerkhoffs (S.C. Enschede), Cor Luiten (D.O.S.);
unused subs: included Rinus Schaap (S.C. Enschede);
trainer: Jaap van der Leck;
referee: Willi Ommerborn (Saar).
NB: Muller left injured (75'); the Dutch wanted to replace him by Schaap, as it had
been agreed both sides could make two substitutions and Luxembourg had made one
at half-time, but the hosts insisted that agreement was not valid for the second
half, and the Dutch eventually gave in;
note that according to [FLF 83] Meylender came in for Dimmer at half-time, which
is absurd as Dimmer scored the Luxembourg goal in the second half; the confusion
is due to the fact that Meylender played at Dimmer's first half position, outside
right, while Dimmer moved to centre forward and Jann to Schneider's place, inside
right; cf. the match report in the Luxemburger Wort.
18- 5-1960 Tilburg Netherlands B 2-0 Switzerland B
Goals: 10' Clavan 1-0, 68' Clavan 2-0
Netherlands B: Pim Bekkering (P.S.V.);

unused subs: Jacky Cordang (V.V.V.); Jan van der Meer (A.D.O.);

Paul Stehrenberger (FC Luzern);
Kurt Armbruster (Lausanne-Sports), Willy Schneider (Young Boys), Rolf Schmid (FC Winterthur),
Jacques Fatton (Servette FC), Marcel Mauron (FC Cantonal);
referee: Gaston Grandain (Belgium).
NB: attendance reported as 1,200; on the same day, the two A-teams met in Zürich;
in addition the European Cup final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt
was played that evening in Glasgow, and both these matches were broadcasted
on TV channels which could be received in the south of the Netherlands, which
is why few football enthousiasts in Tilburg bothered to see this match live;
the originally selected Jan Jongbloed (D.W.S./A.) and Co Prins (Ajax) withdrew
injured and were replaced in the squad by Cordang and De Vries.
26-10-1960 Den Bosch Netherlands B 7-4 Luxembourg
Goals: 32' Konter 0-1, 36' Schouten 1-1, 37' Schouten 2-1, 39' Koopal 3-1,
44' Cirelli 3-2, 47' Schmit 3-3, 56' Letsch 3-4, 61' Groot 4-4,
63' Groot 5-4, 68' Koopal 6-4, 82' Koopal 7-4
Netherlands B: Frans Swinkels (V.V.V.);
Cees Heerschop (P.S.V.), Bep Zaal (Sparta);
Jan Notermans (Fortuna '54), Hans Kraay (D.O.S.), Hans de Koning (Sparta);
Pierre Kerkhoffs (S.C. Enschede), Henk Schouten (Feijenoord), Cees Groot (Ajax),
Piet Fransen (G.V.A.V.), Coy Koopal (Willem II);
unused subs: Piet Lagarde (D.H.C.); Kees Smit (Ajax);
Reinier Kreijermaat (Feijenoord); Harrie Heijnen (V.V.V.);
trainer: Elek Schwartz;
Luxembourg: Nicolas Schmitt (US Luxembourg) [62' Théo Stendebach (Stade Dudelange)];
Ernest Brenner (Stade Dudelange), Nicolas Hoffmann (CS Grevenmacher);
Ernest Jann (Jeunesse d'Esch), Fernand Brosius (Spora), François Konter (Chiers Rodange);
Ady Schmit (Fola), Henri Cirelli (Alliance Dudelange), Jean-Pierre Mertl (US Luxembourg),
Paul May (Jeunesse d'Esch), Léon Letsch (Spora);
unused subs: Gilbert Meylender (Stade Dudelange), Gaston Bauer (US Luxembourg),
René Schneider (Stade Dudelange);
trainer: Robert Heinz;
referee: Jef Casteleyn (Belgium).
NB: the scorer of the first goal of Luxembourg was also reported as Cirelli or Schmit;
the scorer of the sixth goal of Netherlands B was also reported as Kerkhoffs or Groot;
it was also reported Luxembourg made a second substitution; as one report stated that
Schmitt was substituted by Meylender, possibly the latter replaced another player;
note that [FLF 83] includes this match among those played against South Netherlands,
which is evidently absurd given the Dutch line-up (only four of the eleven players,
and only one of the four reserves, would have been eligible for the South Netherlands
side); in fact, the K.N.V.B. had unilaterally ended the series of matches between
Luxembourg and South Netherlands, stretching back thirty-five years, in 1957.

Edy Dublin (US Mondorf) [72' Johny Léonard (US Luxembourg)], Henri Klein (FC Liégeois);
trainer: Robert Heinz;
referee: Helmut Fritz (West Germany).
NB: attendance reported as 10,000;
note that according to [FLF 83] Kirchens replaced Klein at half-time and Léonard
replaced Kirsch late in the second half; in fact, Kirchens replaced Kirsch but
played as outside left, while Klein moved from that position to the centre of
the attack, joining Dublin there; cf. the Luxemburger Wort's match report.
17- 4-1968 Luxembourg Luxembourg 3-4 Netherlands B
Goals: 10' Klein 1-0, 44' Dublin 2-0, 47' Heijerman 2-1, 48' Léonard 3-1,

trainer: Robert Heinz;
Netherlands B: Ton Thie (A.D.O.);

Nol Heijerman (Sparta), Hans Venneker (N.E.C.), Henk "Charly" Bosveld (Sparta),
Lambert Verdonk (Sparta);
trainer: Ron Groenewoud;
referee: Raymond Poncin (France).
NB: attendance reported as 3,000;
note that according to [FLF 83] Cardoni replaced Nicolas Hoffmann; in fact, the
latter took Leszczynski's place at the back while Cardoni played in midfield,
cf. the match report in the Luxemburger Wort.
10- 3-1970 Eindhoven Netherlands B 3-0 Luxembourg
Goals: 31' Klijnjan 1-0, 59' Klijnjan 2-0, 78' Van der Kuijlen 3-0
Netherlands B: Piet Schrijvers (F.C. Twente);
Dick Schneider (Go Ahead), Pleun Strik (P.S.V.), Aad Mansveld (A.D.O.),
Ad Mellaard (N.E.C.);
Johan Boskamp (Holland Sport), Cees van Ierssel (F.C. Twente);

Paul Philipp (Union Saint-Gilloise), Jos Zangerle (Racing White);
trainer: Ernst Melchior;
referee: Fred Delcourt (Belgium).
NB: attendance reported as 5,000;
note that according to [FLF 83] Kirchens replaced Zangerle, but in fact he
came in for Léonard, who had been knocked out after a wild attack by Dutch
'keeper Schrijvers; presumably the confusion is due to a change of positions
after the substitution, as also happened for the matches on 4 October 1959,
29 September 1965 and 17 April 1968; in the latter two matches, Kirchens had
already played as outside left, his default position and also Zangerle's at
kick-off.
