Although Dutch is a Germanic langauge it does actually have quite a few words imported from French, often with spelling simplified - e.g. Nivo (niveau) and Kado (cadeau)

Goodfellow?

The whole word gezond means healthy - it is the same as German gesund with gezondheid/gesundheit being said when someone sneezes. There is no man or fellow in there. I am looking for a synonym of healthy.

I think kudde may be related to the english word cud, as in chewing the cud.

I was just going to say Kudde = herd, stock? ,but I guess not now.

Kudde = herd, i.e. Sam Hird.

Hadn't thought of Stock which would also have worked.

Gezond, Kraam and Slim all greats from the 1960's

[Drover]

Healthy GREEN? Bill green,the older player?

[Dutch Uncle]

Healthy GREEN? Bill green,the older player?

Not quite old enough Drover - I think Bill was 80's

[Dutch Uncle]

Gezond. Alfie Hale as in hale and hearty!

That's the one TRB 

Kraam and Slim to go, same era

[Dutch Uncle]

Is Kraam Dutch for booth? As in Colin Booth?

Also correct TRB 

Defensive midfielder Slim from the 1960's left.......

One of those words that is actually different in German and Dutch. Schlimm in German means bad, whereas slim in Dutch is nearly the opposite.

Bellen is another such word - meaning to ring or telephone in Dutch, but to bark like a dog in German

[Drover]

Kraam = stall, Colin BOOTH?

Too late again.

[Colemans Left Hook]

  Correct - but just beaten by the Baron Drover 

[Dutch Uncle]

The last answer - slim in Dutch means clever or wily .....so John Wylie.
