Draft:Peter Corbijn 2

Jacobus Pieter ("Peter") Corbijn ( Heeze, December 15 , 1964 ) is a Dutch former footballer. He played for Helmond Sport, PSV , VVV and Eindhoven , among others. At the age of 17, the left striker went from VV Geldrop to the then Eredivisie side Helmond Sport in 1982, where he played in the second team for the first six months and then made his appearance in the first team. On March 5, 1983, he immediately scored a goal during his competitive debut in the home match against PEC Zwolle (result 2-2). A year later, the youth international switched to PSV. There, in the 1984-85 season, in addition to seven league games, he also played two matches in the UEFA Cup, as a substitute in the away games at FC Vorwärts Frankfurt and Manchester United. He was then loaned by PSV to VVV. He was a starter there in the 1985-86 season. A year later he was ousted from the main squad by another PSV mercenary, Frank Berghuis. The Venlo club therefore decided to rent him out halfway through the 1986-87 season to first division team Eindhoven, where three other VVV players were on loan at the time: Jos van Aerts, John Versleeuwen and Mario Verlijsdonk. After six seasons at Eindhoven and a year at the Belgian KFC Dessel Sport, he finally returned to the amateurs of Geldrop in 1993. In April 2007, Corbijn contributed to Amateurs in Oranje, a book about the fifty-year history of the Dutch amateur team.
