Did he score a goal in that WC?

He did not - he was a defender.

Can't you find any list of the players of the 1934 Dutch squad?

Maybe Van der Meulen?

I said defender - Gejus van de Meulen was a goalkeeper.

Just keep guessing.

The Dutch team only sent tree defenders to Italy.

van Run?

'Sjef' van Run. That is correct!

The record he holds is the longest name in World Cup History. His full name is Josephus Franciscus Johannes Antonius van Run.

Dutch usually have Latin names, I don't know why.

Ruud van Nistelrooij is actually Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij.
