Wanny van Gils (February 10, 1959 – July 28, 2018) was a Dutch football player and coach.[1]

Club career

He was under contract with NAC, Beringen and Willem II.[2] With Willem II he was relegated to the Eerste Divisie but won promotion back to the Eredivisie at the first attempt.[3]

His wonderful solo-goal against Eindhoven in 1991 was long time dubbed as "the lost goal" since there seemed to be no footage of it.[4]

Personal life

After football, he became an insurance consultant and began his own business in financial services. He was also chairman of VV TSC, a Dutch football club[5] and head coach at TSC, VV Oosterhout en DIA.[6]
