Dick van Burik (born 29 November 1973) is a retired Dutch professional footballer who played as a central defender.[1] Van Burik had three children during his football career: Dominique, Michele, and Estelle van Burik.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Utrecht, Van Burik played in the Eredivisie with Ajax, NAC and FC Utrecht.[3]

However, he is best known for a 10-year stint with German Bundesliga outfit Hertha BSC, where he would be a defensive mainstay and captain for a side that participated in five UEFA Cup editions and the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League (as a result of a third league place in 1998–99, with Van Burik subsequently appearing in ten Champions League contests, as Hertha reached the second group stage).

Van Burik was dismissed by Hertha after the club accused him of playing a role in the departure of teammate Jérôme Boateng, who was a client of Van Burik's father and football agent Karel.[4] Despite receiving interest from various clubs, he ultimately chose to retire as a professional football player in June 2007, at the age of 33.

Retirement

[edit]

He served as the assistant manager at SC Heerenveen from February to June 2010.[5] At present, Van Burik runs an international football agency, EuroSoccerAdvice, and is the proprietor of a protective coating company, VB Coatings.[6]
