Draft:Otto Versfeld

Otto Versfeld ( born 6 October 1955 ) is a former Dutch footballer who played as a goalkeeper. In the early 1980s he was a goalkeeper at Helmond Sport.

With Helmond Sport he became champion in the First Division in the 1981/82 season. He was, by a fraction, the least passed goalkeeper in Europe.

The following two seasons he played 54 games with Helmond Sport in the Eredivisie.

He owes his fame to the legendary three-point penalty that Johan Cruijff took together with Jesper Olsen on December 5, 1982. With a 1-0 lead, Ajax was awarded a penalty. Cruijff carelessly tapped wide to Olsen, who played back, allowing Cruijff to simply shoot the ball past Versfeld, who had run towards Olsen.

In the 1982-1983 season he won the Silver Shoe as the second best player in the Premier League. Curiously enough, he was no longer assured of a starting place at Helmond Sport the following season. In 1984 Versfeld disappeared from professional football.

Versfeld later became a taxi driver. He was also a goalkeeper coach at Helmond Sport for several years in the 1990s.
