Compared by some to Stanley Matthews, Moulijn was 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."
He earned 38 caps and scored 4 goals for the Netherlands national football team.[1]
Moulijn was struck by a cerebral infarction on New Year Day 2011 and died three days later.
