PSV 1987-88

The Legacy

Ronald Koeman marshaled the defense for Guus Hiddink in 1987-1988, anchoring the PSV backline throughout a dominant domestic and European campaign. Hans van Breukelen remained the undisputed choice in goal, while the leadership of Eric Gerets provided crucial stability on the right flank. Søren Lerby brought vital experience to the midfield engine room during a year that saw the side capture the Eredivisie title and the European Cup. The Philips sponsorship remains synonymous with this squad, which relied on the individual class of these specific players to secure the treble under the Adidas manufacturer.
