International Career
Suvrijn made his debut for the Netherlands on 29 April 1986, replacing Michel Valke in a friendly match with Scotland (0–0), as Rinus Michels was the manager.
He went on to gain nine full caps in two years, being called to the squad for UEFA Euro 1988 in West Germany. In the finals, Suvrijn played two games for the eventual champions, totalling four minutes: in the group stage 3–1 win against England, he substituted Marco van Basten, scorer of all of the team's goals in the match; in the semifinals against the hosts (2–1), he played the last minute in the place of injured Erwin Koeman.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
““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)
