Dick Tol

After his playing career, Tol coached amateur club OSV from Oostzaan. Later, he was a coordinator of the FC Volendam coaches as well as a youth coach at the club. He was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 1973, and died at the age of 39 in the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis hospital in Amsterdam due to complications shortly after receiving colon surgery.

After three years playing in the Eredivisie, Tol and Volendam relegated back to the Eerste Divisie in 1964. In the 1966–67 season, Tol became the top goalscorer of the second-tier for the second time in his career with 32 goals. Volendam won the championship and promoted, but Tol decided to retire from football. He made a total of 276 league goals during his career which meant that he scored in 83% of his appearances, making him the club topscorer of Volendam. In the Eredivisie, he scored 76 goals in 101 appearances.

In the 1958–59 season, Volendam was promoted to the Eredivisie, only to suffer relegation again a year later. A second promotion followed a year later. Tol became the top goalscorer of the Eredivisie in the 1961–62 season with 27 goals, despite missing nine matches that season due to an injury. His team finished seventh that year. The striker's good performances led to his first call-up to the Netherlands national team, who played against Denmark on 26 September 1962. Three days before the international fixture, Tol suffered a sprained ankle in a duel with Guus Haak from ADO, which forced him to cancel. For Tol, this remained his only call up for the national team. He did appear for the Netherlands national B team several times and after his career he played for a team of former internationals.
