Holland 1983-1986 Away jersey Match-issue Huub Stevens
Rare away shirt issued to Huub Stevens with number 15. This shirt comes directly from close friends of Stevens. The away version of this model was never worn in an official match, although it was scheduled to be used against Italy in Genua. That match was ultimately cancelled last minute due to heavy snowfall.
Huub Stevens built a long and respected career as a tough, disciplined defender who later became one of the Netherlands’ most influential managers. As a player, he spent the majority of his club career at PSV, where he won three Eredivisie titles and the UEFA Cup in 1978. Known for his leadership, defensive intelligence and relentless mentality, Stevens became a cornerstone of PSV’s back line throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. After retiring, he transitioned into coaching and achieved major success in Germany, most notably with Schalke 04, where he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and became a club icon.
For the Dutch national team, Stevens earned 18 caps between 1979 and 1985, representing Oranje during a transitional period for Dutch football. He made his debut against Switzerland in 1979 and was valued for his reliability and defensive stability. Although he never featured at a major tournament, Stevens remained a consistent squad member and contributed to the rebuilding phase that eventually led to the Netherlands’ resurgence later in the decade. His international career reflected the same qualities he showed at club level: commitment, discipline and a strong sense of responsibility.
