The Legacy
TDK sponsored Ajax throughout 1985-1986, a campaign defined by the return of Johan Cruyff as head coach. Kappa supplied the kits for a squad featuring Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, Gerald Vanenburg, and John Bosman. Ajax finished second in the Eredivisie behind rivals PSV Eindhoven. Van Basten dominated the league scoring charts, while Rijkaard anchored the midfield before his eventual move to defence. This kit accompanied the team during a year where they also secured the KNVB Cup, marking a significant domestic success for a core of academy talents transitioning into senior roles.
Key Moment
Marco van Basten scored 37 goals in 26 league matches for Ajax during the 1985-1986 season.
