Ulrich van Gobbel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich van Gobbel (born January 16, 1971 in Paramaribo, Suriname) is a former Dutch football player who played as a defender for Feyenoord Rotterdam (where he had two spells), Galatasaray and Southampton. He made eight international appearances for the Dutch national football team. He was part of a football team onboard Surinam Airways Flight PY764 when the plane crashed. He was the only surviving member to return to his former level after the accident.

Van Gobbel received a 4 month prison sentence for buying cars on credit and selling them on without paying the car company. Although the Dutch police have not been able to locate Van Gobbel, it is believed he is in Suriname.
