Puck van Heel was a stalwart of Feyenoord and Dutch football in the 1920s and 1930s, a dependable and skilful defender-cum-midfielder who anchored the Rotterdam club through an early period of success.
One of the most-capped Netherlands internationals of his generation, he appeared at the World Cup and served as a model of consistency, remembered as one of the founding legends of Feyenoord’s long history.
