Coenraadt "Coen" Moulijn OON (15 February 1937 – 4 January 2011) was a Dutch footballer who played for Feyenoord from 1955 to 1972 and was part of their European Cup victory in 1970.

Club career

Compared by some to Stanley Matthews,^{[citation needed]} 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."

International career

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.
