Patrick Kluivert's Scandal

The name Patrick Kluivert is not unfamiliar to football fans. Because he has played for several European teams.

Such as Barcelona, Ajax Amsterdam, and Newcastle United. He also served as an assistant to Louis Van Gaal from 2012-2014.

On the other hand, while still playing for Ajax Amsterdam, Kluivert was involved in an accident. The incident occurred on September 9, 1995.

Quoted from various sources, at that time he was driving a red BMW M3 E30 Cabriolet borrowed from a friend.

The car was driven at a high speed, namely 104 km/h. Even though he was in a residential area with a maximum speed limit of 50 km/h.

As a result, Patrick Kluivert crashed into a four-wheeled vehicle driven by a 56-year-old Ajax fan named Marten Putman.

At that time, Putman had just left his in-laws' house in North Amsterdam after dinner. However, misfortune struck.
