Encyclopedic overview
* Club domestic league appearances and goals
Geertruida Maria "Ruud" Geels ( Dutch pronunciation: [ɣeːrˈtrœydaː maːˈrijaː ryt ˈxeːls]; 28 July 1948 – 18 November 2023) was a Dutch professional footballer who played as a striker. He obtained 20 caps for the Netherlands national team, scoring eleven goals. A prolific striker known for his heading skills, Geels is the only player to win the Eredivisie topscoring title five times (followed by Marco van Basten with four titles), and is the second most scoring player in the Dutch top football division, behind Willy van der Kuijlen. He is also known for being the first of only two footballers (the second being Ronald Koeman) to play for the big three teams in Dutch football - Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord.
