Stefan Postma (born June 10, 1976 in Utrecht, The Netherlands) is a Dutch footballer and goalkeeper who currently plays for ADO Den Haag.

He started his professional career at FC Utrecht before moving to De Graafschap. He was signed by Aston Villa from De Graafschap on May 14, 2002 for 1.5 million pounds, upon Peter Schmeichel's transfer to Manchester City F.C. Postma's debut came unexpectedly in a 0-1 defeat at Southampton on October 21, 2002, following the dismissal of Peter Enckelman.

After manager David O'Leary's purchase of Thomas Sørensen, Postma became the number two choice goalkeeper at the club, and he was called upon twice in the 2003/04 season and three times in 2004/05[1].

In his final days at Aston Villa the club and himself were speculated to have been in talks with several other clubs across Europe, but these moves were turned down by both Aston Villa and Postma himself. Postma eventually went on loan to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the start of the 2005-6 season. In January 2006, he signed a contract to remain at Wolves until the end of the season[2]. It was announced on 5 May that Postma would leave Wolves in the summer, and he returned to the Eredivisie with ADO Den Haag [3]. He has recently been linked with a move to Aberdeen FC.

[edit] Sex tape

In 2005, an English ex-girlfriend of Postma's offered for sale on eBay a tape of their sexual activities. Postma purchased the tape but in October 2006 the tape was released on a number of Dutch websites.[4] The sex tape is even more infamous due to the fact it features Postma being penetrated by his girlfriend who is wearing a strap-on dildo.[5]
