Biography

Freddy's career started at BVV Den Bosch, where he made his debut aged 17 against Haarlem in February 1985, and went on to make over 150 appearances for his hometown Club over the next four years, playing mainly as sweeper. Joining United for around £200,000 at the end of July 1989, the versatile defender made his first appearance a few days later in an away friendly against East Stirlingshire, and was introduced to the fans at Tannadice in Paul Sturrock's testimonial match against Real Sociedad, where he immediately became a hit with the fans. His competitive debut followed in the opening league game of the season against Motherwell at Tannadice.

Part of a new defensive set-up that mostly contained the likes of John Clark, Maurice Malpas and Miodrag Krivokapic, Freddy was seen as a more experienced player to help bring through the young players coming through at Tannadice as Jim McLean rebuilt the side. A regular in the line-up over the next five years, in August 1990 he was chosen to represent a Scottish League select against Scotland at Hampden Park in a match to celebrate the centenary of the Scottish Football League. He returned to the national stadium at the end of that season, playing for United in the Scottish Cup final, where his free-kick hit the post early on as United eventually lost out to Motherwell, with Freddy collecting a runners-up medal and a red card after the final whistle.

Although still part of the first team squad, he missed out on the winning Scottish Cup final of 1994 after losing his place in the side in February that year, his last match being the 4th Round 2-2 draw with Motherwell. He was transfer listed just after the cup final and a month later signed for Belgian side Eendracht Aalst for £90,000. In 1996 he returned to Den Bosch, where he took up a coaching position after retiring in 2002, becoming caretaker manager for two short spells in 2005 and 2009, and eventually became Director of Football.
