2. 2. Kieft

   

   An intimate, unflinching portrait of a celebrated Dutch striker that follows his meteoric rise in professional football, the pressures and excesses that accompanied fame, his descent into alcoholism and personal crisis, and the struggle for recovery and redemption; drawing on interviews and archival material, the book offers a candid behind-the-scenes look at the human cost of elite sport and the complicated relationship between talent, vulnerability, and public scrutiny.

3. 3. De Wereld Volgens Gijp

   

   Een levendig en openhartig portret van een ex-profvoetballer en televisiepersoonlijkheid: een verzameling gesprekken en anekdotes waarin hij met droge humor en zelfspot terugblikt op zijn carrière, teamgenoten, memorabele wedstrijden en het leven na het veld. Het boek combineert scherpe observaties over de media en de voetbalcultuur met persoonlijke verhalen over afkomst, fouten, successen en de manier waarop roem en publieke opinie zijn leven hebben gevormd.

4. 4. Wim Kieft

   

   A candid, investigative portrait of one of the Netherlands’ most gifted strikers, tracing his meteoric rise from promising youngster to household name and the heavy toll that fame, expectation and nightlife took on his life and career. Using interviews and archival material, it follows on-field highs and off-field lows — personal conflicts, injuries and a long battle with alcohol and depression — and examines how the pressures of modern football shaped his decisions and relationships. The narrative blends sports reporting with intimate psychological insight, offering both a celebration of athletic brilliance and a sober account of the personal costs behind the headlines.
