* Appearances (Goals)

Raymond Atteveld (born September 8, 1966 in Amsterdam) was a Dutch footballer who could play as a full back or in midfield. He is the current coach of Roda JC in the Dutch Eredivisie.

Atteveld played for HFC Haarlem before moving to England to join Everton.

He made his debut for Everton on December 2, 1989 against Coventry City in a 2-0 home win for Everton. During his career at Everton he made 41 league appearances from the outset and a further 10 as a substitute, scoring only one goal. Atteveld is one of three Dutchmen to have played for Everton, the other two being Sander Westerveld and Andy van der Meyde.

Atteveld was one of the first foreigners to get a regular first-team place in the Everton squad although he struggled to make a name of himself in the English game. Atteveld is remembered by Evertonians for stripping down to his underpants during an end of season lap of honour and throwing his kit into the crowd.

He joined West Ham United on loan, and became the first Dutch player in the club's history when he made played his only league game for the club on February 22, 1992 (a 2-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday). He made two FA Cup appearances for the club, for the Fifth Round games against Sunderland on February 15 and February 26.
