The snakeman - Rob Rensenbrink

Outsider from Anderlecht
Scored in all of three Euro finals
Underrated with all due respect

Inch away from World Cup hero
1000th world cup goal against the Scots
Golden boot snatched, utter zero

No matter a European pedigree
Stood ‘Royal Pair’ of Cruyff and Keizer
Positional change was the key

Stunning skill to play on the wing
Warned keepers which corner he’d shoot
High jinks from the spot kick king

Many tried hard to banish the ghost
It could have been so different
Had Fillol not deflected onto the post

Number 7

Mario Kempes: “If Rensenbrink hadn't hit the post in the Final, he would have been the top scorer”
