My Take

I have always considered goalkeeping the loneliest, most punishing job in football, and that is why Dorus de Vries appeals to me. Standing 191 cm and starting out at Telstar in the Netherlands, he then had the nerve to move to Britain in 2006 and test himself abroad, beginning in Scotland. Keepers do not score the glory goals; they make the one save that quietly rescues a match. I respect that kind of unflashy, high-pressure craftsmanship, where a single mistake is unforgiving yet a single stop can define a season. De Vries strikes me as a dependable last line, and I admire that steadiness.

Overview

Dorus de Vries (born 29 December 1980) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. De Vries began his professional career in his native the Netherlands with Telstar, before spending three seasons with ADO Den Haag.
