Arie Haan (Ajax vs Panathinaikos)
Ajax won the first of three consecutive European Cups in 1971, beating Greek champions Panathinaikos 2-0 in the final at Wembley.
The Amsterdam side took the lead through defender Dick van Dijk after five minutes and wrapped up a 2-0 win late in the game thanks to a deflected effort from Arie Haan. The midfielder had joined Ajax for an internship in 1967 from amateur club WVV 1896 and made his debut the following year after impressing for the reserve team.
