Arie Haan at AFC Ajax

Arie Haan, born 16 November 1948 in Nunspeet, Netherlands, was a central midfielder who played a key role in Ajax's golden era under Rinus Michels and Stefan Kovacs. The 1970-71 season was the first of Ajax's three consecutive European Cup triumphs, with the club defeating Panathinaikos 2-0 in the final at Wembley on 2 June 1971. Haan was part of a squad that included Johan Cruyff, Johan Neeskens, Ruud Krol, and Piet Keizer, a generation of players who defined Total Football and changed the way the game was understood. He was known for his technical ability, vision, and powerful long-range shooting, a quality he demonstrated memorably at the 1978 FIFA World Cup with the Netherlands, scoring stunning long-range goals against Italy and West Germany. The number 15 shirt from the 1970-71 season places this piece at the very beginning of Ajax's most celebrated era.
