Henk van Brussel

Van Brussel played for local side Excelsior '31 and was part of the Go Ahead squad that won promotion to the Eredivisie in 1963.

Van Brussel worked for Go Ahead Eagles, Rohda Raalte (amateurs), SC Heerenveen, De Graafschap, FC Groningen and SC Heracles. He won the natioanal amateur title with Rohda Raalte in 1979 and had to finish his manager career at Heracles in 1990 after tearing his Achilles tendon. At Heerenveen his playing style was called the "Brussels Luna Park", because of his open attacking play which resulted in a surge in attendances.
