Sieb Dijkstra

Dijkstra began his career with Roda JC but failed to make an appearance, spending time on loan at AZ and Hasselt. In 1991, he moved to Scottish side Motherwell, where he made his debut in an August 1991 League Cup tie against Raith Rovers. He would spend the next three seasons at Fir Park, replacing Ally Maxwell in the squad and eventually winning a battle for the starting place with Billy Thomson. The club challenged for the 1993–94 Scottish Premier Division title, eventually finishing third. He was regarded as a cult hero at Motherwell. A £250,000 move to English side Queens Park Rangers followed, but he played just 11 times in two years; the manager who signed him, Gerry Francis, soon moved on to Tottenham Hotspur and after a minor injury, Dijkstra found the new manager Ray Wilkins chose other goalkeepers ahead of him. After loan spells at other English clubs, Dijkstra moved back to Scotland with Dundee United for £50,000, reuniting with manager Tommy McLean whom he had worked under at Motherwell. Dijkstra's time in Scotland was successful again, with over 80 appearances for the Terrors, including another third-place finish in the Scottish League in 1996–97 and a Scottish League Cup runners-up medal later in 1997, after he again took the place of Ally Maxwell in the team. After a contract dispute, Dijkstra left Tannadice in 1999 and returned to the Netherlands to play for amateur side VV Sittard (via a week's spell with Ipswich Town), although he would end the season…

He was appointed goalkeeping coach at Fortuna Sittard in June 2017.

Dijkstra is married and has a daughter. He also has three children with his first wife. He has his own goalkeeping academy in Kerkrade. In a 2020 interview, Dijkstra reflected upon his time playing in Scotland as the happiest in his career.
