Football career

Jonker began his career with Vitesse '22 from his hometown Castricum, North Holland. [1] From 1970, Jonker played eight years for Telstar. [2] After the club suffered relegation from the Eredivisie in the 1977–78 season, [3] he moved to Den Haag alongside Ton Wickel. According to journalist Jan-Hermen de Bruijn, these signings meant that then head coach Piet de Visser rejected the transfer of Diego Maradona to Den Haag, as the club had enough midfielders. [4] [5] This was subsequently denied by De Visser, who stated that Maradona was already hugely popular in Argentina at the time, and would have cost too much for the club. [6] Nevertheless, Jonker experienced his breakthrough at the club, and after two seasons in The Hague, he signed with AZ '67 in 1980 at the age of 29. [7] The club from Alkmaar was already a top club in the second half of the 1970s, but had not yet won the national title, and Jonker was a welcome reinforcement in midfield in 1980. [8] Jonker played for AZ for three seasons and retired from professional football after the 1982–83 season, instead choosing to return to Vitesse '22 at amateur level. [9]

Jonker played 19 matches in the European Cup on behalf of AZ '67, and was part of the successful team which convincingly won the Eredivisie with a goal difference of +71, and reached the final of the UEFA Cup in the 1980–81 season, in which he scored in the return leg. [10]

He gained two caps for the Netherlands national team, in which he played against West Germany and Cyprus. [11]
