Makkelijk voor Dennis?

[Dutch Uncle]

Following Roving Reporter's foray into Dutch and the discovery of a centre-back called Matthew Molens I decided to create an all time Rovers team with names literally translated into Dutch. They are mostly recent players but a couple of older ones for BobG, Billy Stubbs Tears,  and other contemporaries. How many can you recognise:

D.Pauw

J.Kamers
A.Slotbos
B.Kleermaker
P.Koffiemelk

I.Molenaar
B.Voorraad
A.Klein
M.Bosjes

B.Scherp
P.Keuken

Subs (Onderzeers): F.Pottenbakker, B.Slik, C.Beuk, R.Raafheuvel, M.Uitverkoop, L.Vent, JJ Prijs

Not a bad wee starting eleven. I toyed with Ian and Glyn Ingesneeuwd (Snowed-in), but they can be the management duo.

Sharp, Chambers, JJ Price, Ben Smith.

I want to know what Pottenbakker is  :cheer:

[Dutch Uncle]

No to Ben Smith (Would have been Smit)

A bakker is a baker, potten are pots.........

[RedRover45]

Dennis Peacock, Alan Little and Paul Heffernan and Fred Potter on the bench ?

[Pintolager]

edit

[Dutch Uncle]

F.Pottenbakker is indeed Fred Potter

No Heffs in there, Little(Klein), and Peacock(Pauw) are good

BTW Makkelijk = easy, hence makkelijk voor Dennis  

[RedRover45]

Doh, P.Keuken is obviously Peter Kitchen if I just worked it out.
  By the way Dutch, whereabouts are you over there. I come over footballing every year so I know the country pretty well.

RR45 - I live in Leidschendam - a suburb of The Hague

Give a shout if you are this way sometime

  Will do Dutch, although I went to Den Haag last season. Im probably next over in October, based in Rotterdam I think. I need to do Sparta and the De Kuip.

I had to laugh a few years ago when we had a sponsor Plas-Vent (Double-glazing?)
Vent is colloquial Dutch for Guy and Plas similarly for pee........so Plas-Vent was sort of 'p*sshead' for me
