Oh. It's sorry.

1978, I went to primary school, and the World Cup in Argentina was the first one that I remembered later fragmentarily. his name - Rensenbrink - was probably the first of the foreign football players I remembered. and when we kids chased the ball in the yard in Baku in my homeland Azerbaijan, I proudly announced his name. since then, the Netherlands has been my favorite team. RIP, the idol of my childhood. with pleasant memories, once from Azerbaijan, and now from Poland

@@clemensgruber7278 During Euro'88, of course, I was for my home country, the USSR. The disappointment was very great. The next day I came to the German exam in our Leipzig language institute (the former GDR), and my comelitone from Mozambique looked at me with a pitying look that I still remember today. I think the Dutch, not only the footballers, but also as the people as a whole, are very sympathetic, but during the final I hated Hans van Breukelen, the Big Hans, when he tried to annoy and provoke our Belanov before the penalty kick

@@bakliranlbalas9519 Hi! Hi! Thank you for your answer!' I'm Austrian and I'm of course a big fan of Dutch football too - mainly of course of that era (otherwise I would hardly have watched a video about Rob Rensenbrink:-) But now let's forget about the era of Rensenbrink and Cruyff, let's move to the match which was the reason for my contact. I was 12 years ald back in 1988 and for some reasons I didn't like the Dutch football team back then. On the other hand I had deep respect towards the Soviet Union - not only as a spot nation but also politically as I admired the enoermous power of that nation. So of course I supported the USSR and got pissed off when Holland finally won-) The reason I asked you which team you supported was as for me it wasn't clear how a fan of Dutch football from Aserbaidschan would feel in that situation. You wrote that you supported your "home country" - so you obviously considered the USSR your home country and not as I assumed the then Soviet Republic of Aserbaidschan. I mean that was already 3 years after the start of Perestrojka and Glasnost and nationalism was on the rise throughout the USSR. So I guess that a certain amount of Soviet citizens was certainly far away from patriotic feelings and probably supported the Dutch team instead of their own - especially if they were fans of Dutch football.

Great player who would have received more recognition if he had played for Ajax or Feyenoord. Instead he went from DWS to Belgium where he was the best player in their first division for many years. Always remembered for hitting the post in the final minutes of the 1978 world cup final when the Dutch eventually lost in extra time. Rust zacht Robbie.

Rest In Peace, forever in our hearts. Legend!

The hero of the Netherlands in 1974 & 1978. Thanks for the memories Robbie.

One of the greatest Dutch players ever, it's a measure of his talent that he played in Belgium most of his career and was still a regular for Holland, was just 6 inches away from winning a world cup for Holland but you can watch it again and again and the ball still won't go in lol loved to have seen Holland beat the arrogant Argies in their own back yard in the world cup final

Incroyable!! Techniquement, je n'ai jamais vu plus fort!

Sweet memories. Rest in Peace good man.

Enfant, j'ai vécu mes premiers moments passionnés de foot grâce à des joueurs de talent comme Rensenbrink. Il avait la classe et l'élégance comme la plupart des joueurs hollandais de l'époque. Respect from France. RIP Robbie.

Fantastic player, I imagine his partnership with Johan Cruyff, my condolences to the family for the death, great player, enchanted me with his dribbles and goals, greetings from Brazil🇧🇷

Sad to hear of Robbies passing away. As a 13 year old watching 74 world cup in England i was enthralled by the great Dutch side was upset when they lost the final and alas again in 78. RIP great man and thanks for the memories.

I rememember him missing a golden worldcup WINNING !! opportunity in the dying minutes of the 1978 worldcup final against Argentina....... Had he scored, the worldcup would have been ours, finally and deserved! We lost in extra time and I cried>>> " "'Oranjes jacht naar wereldgoud weer over..."' Rob was a brilliant left forward, fast en goal oriented ; very much like master Cruyffie. I saw them both playing "close up" as a ball boy in the EREDIVISIE in 1972/1973. Groetjes mate!

Very few in Italy knew him when he showed his immense talent on the 1974 World Cup. I remember a journalist commenting about him that, if he was more able to score goals, he would be like Stanley Matthews. Well, I don't know how many goals Sir Stanley scored, but Rob was an excellent scorer.

Stanley Matthews was not a good goalscorer at all, his whole game was about dribbling past the left back and putting in a cross into the box. Rensenbrink scored lots of goals for Bruges and Anderlecht so it was very bad journalism.

If a someone was playing in a team that was not, for any reason, broadcasted, no one knew who he was. The journalist that said about the goal scoring attitudes of Matthews and Rensenbrink probably didn't know anything about both of them.

An absolute legend. I used to pretend to be Rensenbrink when I played football at school. One of my heroes.

Really an old fashioned inside left, played most of his career as a left winger but had rare skills as a striker. Best moment on the video is the goal against West Ham - he doesn't panic, drops his shoulder, sends the defence careering and slots it home. I remember the World Cup in 1978 when he was taking penalties almost every game and I was betting on which side he would put the next one.
