Nick Marsman

What I respect about Nick Marsman is that he built a real career out of the most thankless position on the pitch. Coming up through the Twente academy, becoming their first-choice keeper, then taking the move to Utrecht and later Feyenoord, where he sat behind Justin Bijlow as backup, that takes a particular kind of professional. A keeper plays 89 minutes of nothing and gets blamed for the one mistake. Accepting a backup role at a big club like Feyenoord, staying ready, training quietly, that is its own quiet form of discipline. I find that more admirable than flashy goal-scoring, honestly.

Nick Marsman (born 1 October 1990) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard. Born in Zwolle, Marsman progressed through the Twente academy and made his professional debut in 2011. After a loan spell at Go Ahead Eagles, he became Twente's first-choice goalkeeper before moving to Utrecht in 2017. He joined Feyenoord in 2019, serving as backup to Justin Bijlow.
