The Go Ahead Eagles (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɡo əˈɦɛt ˈiɡls]) are a football club from Deventer, Netherlands, currently playing in the Eerste Divisie. The club's home stadium is De Adelaarshorst. To date, the club has won the national championship four times (1917, 1922, 1930, 1933). They have produced several international players over the years, such as Raimond Van Der Gouw, René Eijkelkamp, Marc Overmars, Paul Bosvelt, Jan Kromkamp, Victor Sikora and Demy de Zeeuw, whilst providing Henk Ten Cate and Leo Beenhakker with their first tastes of management.
[edit] History
The club was founded in 1902 under the name Be Quick, although the name was soon changed to Go Ahead at the request of the Dutch Football Association. The suffix Eagles was added in 1971, following a suggestion from the then coach, Barry Hughes.[1]
