Coenraad (Coen) Moulijn (born 15 February 1937) is a former Dutch footballer who played for Feyenoord and was part of their European Cup victory in 1970. He earned 38 caps and scored 4 goals for the Netherlands national football team. [1]
Compared by some to Stanley Matthews, Moulijn is considered one of the most talented leftwingers in Dutch football history. Johan Cruyff added him to his alltime favorite Dutch national team, stating that "Coen mastered one movement better than anyone: threatening to pass his opponent through the center, and then speeding past him on the other side. He was an exceptionally talented football player. A typical product of the Dutch school."
