Harry van der Meer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henricus ("Harry") Antonius Wilhelmus van der Meer (born October 30, 1973 in Veenendaal, Utrecht) is a former water polo forward from The Netherlands, who participated in three Summer Olympics for Holland. From 1992 on he finished in ninth (Barcelona), tenth (Atlanta, Georgia) and eleventh (Sydney) position with the National Men's Team.
After gaining Italian citizenship in 2002 to please his professional club Savona, Van der Meer tried hard to get back his Dutch passport to play for Holland once again. He didn't succeed. On December 21, 2005 the court of appeal in the Netherlands decided that Dutch immigration services did the right thing by ordering Van der Meer's passport.
