Gerrit Lagendijk was born in the Stokroosstraat in Rotterdam-Zuid, a gritty neigbourhood. He played for Feyenoord as a youth. He was a competent player, for lack of a better word, a grafter, but really made his mark as an agent. He was very critical of his fellow agents. Earning him the nickname of "The cleanest of agents". He described the world of agents in football as a world in which everything was fast: "fast guys, fast cars, fast money", describing some of his collegues as "hotshots" and "pimps". This may be the way I see it (having read the contemporary stuff) but it is shared by many, which for obvious reasons cannot be referenced. When Lagendijk died, many felt that football lost part of it's integrity. JHvW 19:13, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

For some reason this part of the article gets being redacted. If you look at this entry in Wikipedia you will see that Bobby Robson and Ferenc Puskas are both named as coaches. The truth is that Ferenc Puskas was the manager and Bobby Robson managed the team at an other location, something which Robson did not feel was tenible. This is not very important, but I wonder why it keeps on being redacted as it is a matter of public record, and the article on the Vancouver Royals does not seem to warrant redaction.
