Arnold Johannes Hyacinthus Mühren (born 2 June 1951) is a Dutch
1980–81). The last of these was won with Ipswich Town, while the other titles were won while playing for Ajax. He is also one of the two Dutch players, together with Danny Blind
, to have won all UEFA club competitions.
Career
Born in
1975 UEFA Cup Final. A year later he moved to Ipswich Town in England for a fee of £150,000; in the same year he made his international debut in a 4–0 win against Tunisia.[2]
Mühren was part of the successful Ipswich team that won the 1981
1985 FA Cup Final, in which United defeated Everton. He did not feature in the match squad for the 1985 final, having lost his place in the team that season to new signing Jesper Olsen. Mühren was one of the few players from outside the United Kingdom and Ireland
playing in English football during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
After seven years in England, Mühren returned to Ajax, where he added the European
European Championships in 1988. In the final against the Soviet Union he provided the cross from which Marco van Basten scored the second goal (considered one of the greatest volleyed goals of all time). Mühren continued playing for Ajax for one more season after that, before retiring in 1989 at the age of 38.[4]
