Boy Waterman (born 24 January 1984 in Lelystad, Flevoland) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Turkish side Kardemir Karabükspor.
He was part of the Dutch Under-21 team to win the 2007 Under-21 European Football Championship.
Club career
He started his career at SC Heerenveen, debuting in 2004. After being loaned to AZ Alkmaar for half a year he completed a transfer in April 2007. On 10 February 2007, Waterman played his first Eredivisie match for AZ against Willem II [1] He made his European debut in AZ's 3–3 draw against Fenerbahce (UEFA Cup) on 14 February 2007.
On 22 February, Waterman joined Viking FK on loan until August.[2] However, the loan deal was cancelled because of a groin injury. After that period Waterman played for De Graafschap [3] and the German club Alemannia Aachen. He played 30 competitive matches with Aachen. After the club was eventually relegated, he left on a free transfer to PSV Eindhoven.
Waterman began the 2012–13 season as PSV's second-choice goalkeeper, behind Przemysław Tytoń. However, after five league games, Waterman was promoted to first-choice goalkeeper by manager Dick Advocaat.
International career
In 2007 Waterman was called up by Jong Oranje coach Foppe de Haan to be part of his squad for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship held in the Netherlands. Waterman was De Haan's first goalkeeper for the tournament and helped his team in their first match against Israel to a 1–0 victory. He also started in their second match against Portugal but was substituted by Kenneth Vermeer in the first half with a back injury. The match against Portugal was eventually won and the Dutch managed to qualify for the semi finals of the tournament as well as for the 2008 Summer Olympics. In the semi finals Waterman returned on the pitch and The Netherlands eliminated England after a 1–1 draw with 13–12 in a penalty shootout with 32 penalty kicks taken, with Waterman stopping three English penalties and scoring one himself.[4] The Dutch went on to retain their 2006 title by beating Serbia 4–1 in the final.
