Starting out
I played for a small amateur club in the neighbourhood where I was living, in Holland. I started as an outfield player, and I just remember playing 11 v 11 on a half-pitch and everybody running after the ball. When you get older, it starts to look a little bit more like football! There was a tournament and the goalkeeper was ill or injured so he wasn’t there, and my dad said to the coach: “You can play Raimond in there,” and I did so well that they wanted to keep me in goal from that point.
