Career

Van Eijkeren was born in The Hague, but early on him and his family moved to Zaandam, where his father went to work for a large company, Bruynzeel. He began playing football in Zaandam with local amateur club ZVV. [1] In 1990, he moved to ADO Den Haag, then still named FC Den Haag, managed by Co Adriaanse. [1] He had been on a trial with AZ prior to signing with Den Haag, which proved unsuccessful. [2] He made his debut on 28 August 1990 against FC Twente. [3] He played there for four seasons, two of which in the Eredivisie. Van Eijkeren made 114 appearances and 39 goals during his first stint in Den Haag. [1]

He then played four seasons for NEC, recording 114 league matches and 32 goals. [1] One of these goals came in the relegation play-offs in 1997 against VVV-Venlo, a penalty-kick securing a 3–2 win which heeded NEC from relegation from the Eredivisie, and earned Van Eijkeren the nickname "The Saviour" among fans of the club. [2] [4] His performances earned him a transfer to FC Utrecht in February 1998, joining the club alongside Alfons Groenendijk. [5] Ahead of the 1999–2000 season, he returned to ADO Den Haag and played three more seasons, in which he made 58 league appearances and scored 23 goals. [1] His contract was terminated by mutual consent in April 2002. [6]

After football
