Blind made 372 appearances for Ajax before retiring in 1999
Blind, father of Ajax's Daley Blind, was signed by Ajax in 1986 under the instructions of the manager Johan Cruyff. He remained in Amsterdam until his retirement in 1999. A defender gifted with technical qualities, Blind was essential to Ajax's dominance both in the Netherlands and in Europe.

The Dutchman won with Ajax five Eredivisie titles, four KNVB Cup (also known as Dutch Cup), two Johan Cruyff Shield Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. He was, in fact, the captain of the team during both the conquest of the Champions League in 1995 against Milan and the winning of the UEFA Cup in 1992 against Torino.
With these achievements, Blind is one of the only two Dutch players who has managed to win every UEFA and FIFA club competition, alongside Arnold Muhren.

About the author
Bill Papargyriou
I am a graduate of English Language and Literature of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I am currently completing my MA studies in Modern Journalism. I am a huge fan of European Football, especially Calcio.
As far as my work experience is concerned, I was a senior writer and one of the founding members of a Greek website called "sportsdaily.gr". This website was devoted to European football and especially news about the greatest European clubs. I was in fact solely responsible for Serie A. As a result, in the nearly 2 years of the website running live, I had written over 2,000 pieces of match analysis, match previews as well as news in general.
Lastly, I have been working as a sports journalist for "Yellow Radio 92,8", a radio station based in Thessaloniki, Greece which deals with Aris Thessaloniki FC, one of the greatest and historic clubs in Greece. As part of my role, I conduct research on Aris' next opponents reviewing their strengths and weaknesses.
