1964: feyenoord - ajax 9-4
The other colored Classic is the meeting between Feyenoord and Ajax on November 29, 1964. Thanks in part to five goals from Rotterdammer Hans Venneker, Feyenoord booked its biggest victory over Ajax in club history (9-4). In the Rotterdam team, players such as Eddy Pieter Graafland, Hans Kraay, Frans Bouwmeester and Coen Moulijn were in the basic team, while Ajax took office with Bennie Muller, Wim Suurbier, Sjaak Swart and the only 17-year-old Johan Cruijff. The colored images show some of Venneker's goals and more than sixty thousand supporters in a frenzied Kuip. In that season Feyenoord managed to crown itself as national champion for the eighth time in club history.
