Henk Nienhuis (11 August 1941 – 18 February 2017) was a Dutch footballer and manager. He spent the major part of his career at BV Veendam, hence his nickname Mister Veendam.[1]
Playing career
Nienhuis played in midfield for BV Veendam from 1963 to 1973, after joining them from hometown amateur side Nieuw Buinen.[2] He made his debut for Veendam on 25 August 1963 against Excelsior.[3]
He attracted interest from Feyenoord and was called up for Netherlands U-21 in November 1964,[3] only for a severe injury to spoil his chances.[4]
Managerial career
Nienhuis managed Veendam during the second half of the eighties, clinching promotion with them to the Eredivisie twice. He later worked as a director at the club, as he did at FC Groningen.[1]
Personal life
He was honoured as a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 2000 for his services to football in the Netherlands.[5] His son Evert-Jan also played for Veendam.
Nienhuis died in February 2017 of prostate cancer.[6]
