Wilbert Suvrijn - Club Career

Club Career

In his country, Suvrijn represented hometown's Fortuna Sittard (helping it promote to Eredivisie in his debut season, as champions) and Roda JC, playing in a total of 209 games in the top division, in seven seasons. With the latter club, he scored twice in 31 matches in the 1986–87 season, helping it finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Cup.

In 1989, Suvrijn signed with French club Montpellier HSC, helping it win the domestic cup in his first year - he missed the final due to injury - and contributing decisively to the club's sixth place in Ligue 1 in 1991–92, playing almost exclusively in midfield. After only nine matches in the following campaign, mainly due to back problems, the 30-year old decided to retire, staying closely related to France, and became a players agent.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:

    Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.
    Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
