Jacob "Jaap" Eisse Bulder (27 September 1896 in Groningen – 30 April 1979 in Leiderdorp) was a football player from the Netherlands, who represented his home country at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. There he won the bronze medal with the Netherlands national football team.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Bulder played as a centre-forward for hometown club Be Quick, having made his debut on 23 October 1910 against WVV at the age of 14. He won 11 Northern Division titles with Be Quick, and the Dutch league title with them in 1919–20.[2] Bulder scored 59 goals in 14 matches during 1919–20. He was considered the greatest footballer from the Northern Netherlands during his playing career; he was a great dribbler, a prolific goal scorer, and a technician who had practiced his technique with a tennis ball with his brother Evert Jan during their early years. Bulder played his final game on 9 April 1928 against Frisia.

Bulder scored a record 8 goals in a 14–0 win against Veendam in 1920, and also 8 in a 10–0 win against Alcides in 1922. That record would last until 1956, when Henk Schouten of Feyenoord scored 9 in one match.[3][4]

In 1920, Bulder criticised the Dutch Football Association for never calling up players from the north of the country. His critique cost Bulder his debut in the national team, although he was still part of the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. Rebellion against the Dutch officials about the poor state of the base of the Dutch team in Antwerp cost Bulder his place in the team. He only returned to the national team after twenty months, when he would play in the inside forward trio with his club teammates Appie Groen and Harry Rodermond. Talented footballers from the Northern Netherlands were finally recognised.

On 16 September 1923, Jaap scored two goals in one minute against Velocitas, in the final of the Groninger Dagbladbeker.[5]
