ABSTRACT
One of professionalism's fiercest enemies had been the thick-necked patrician Karel Lotsy, trainer of the national team prior to TfVorld War II ... Lotsy was renowned for his thunderous and pompous half-time speeches at important football matches on themes such as duty and patriotism; and in 1979 it was revealed by journalists Frits Barend and Henk van Dorp that during the war Lotsy had collaborated with the Nazis and excluded Jews from Dutch football even before the Germans demanded it.
