Famous Dutch ref, #fransderks, died today at 89. Flamboyant, respected & iconic. Had personally tailored refs kits made for Dutch league & international games, & was known for sporting very tight shorts. Was treated pretty much like a pop star in Holland. A unique character. RIP.

Just learned that flamboyant Dutch former top #referee Frans Derks has passed away aged 89. His idiosyncratic style, expressed in his dress style and on the field, made him a popular and respected figure. May he rest In peace.

Today, Frans Derks, the Dutch former top #referee who died on Friday, got an homage in the stadium of NAC in his hometown of Breda. “Frans Derks, the final whistle” this banner says. Touching gesture.

“In 23 years I have given a total of fourteen yellow cards. They give it in one match. ” Derks really hates those cards: ‘They didn’t fit my pants. Usually I left them in the room. ”’
RIP Frans Derks (November 1, 1930 – September 25, 2020)
“In 23 jaar heb ik in totaal veertien gele kaarten gegeven. Die geven ze nou in één wedstrijd.” Derks heeft juist een enorme hekel aan die kaarten: ‘Ze pasten niet in mijn broekje. Meestal liet ik ze in de kamer liggen.”’
