Orlando Trustfull (born 4 August 1970) is a former Dutch international footballer.
Trustfull was born in Amsterdam and played as a youth player for De Rivalen, Ajax Amsterdam and Blauw-Wit before signing his first professional contract at HFC Haarlem that played in the Eredivisie. The midfielder played 14 matches in his first season and was transferred to fellow Eredivisie team SVV Schiedam that merged with Dordrecht '90 a year later. Trustfull was a regular first team player and managed to score his first professional goal in the 1991-92 season.
He spent some time at FC Twente where he scored another goal before he was signed by Dutch giants Feyenoord Rotterdam where he had a hard time gaining his first team position. Eventually 1994-95 season he succeeded and was even selected for the Dutch national team twice. He participated in two Euro 96 qualification matches versus Belarus and Malta, which were won 1-0 and 4-0 respectively.
Trustfull felt he was ready to move on to a foreign country and switched to Sheffield Wednesday, where he played 19 matches and scored three goals in his first season. He struggled with settling in England and decided to go back to his native country to play for Vitesse Arnhem, where he played a decent first season, but suffered several injuries in the years after. He ended his career after the 2000-01 season having played 223 professional matches and having scored 24 goals.
Trustfull is married to Dutch television presenter Quinty Trustfull.
