Marcel Benjamin Peeper (born 9 September 1965) is a former Dutch footballer, who played as either a left defender or midfielder.

During his career, marred by a serious injury whilst on international duty,^[1] he played professionally in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, making nearly 400 official appearances.

Club career

Born in Amsterdam, Peeper began his career with the youth teams of local AFC Ajax. His professional career began in the 1985–86 season with HFC Haarlem, and finished 15 years later, as he also represented in his country FC Twente, Sparta Rotterdam and FC Groningen.

During four seasons abroad, Peeper met diverse fates: four solid years in the Belgian First Division with K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen, where he also netted more than 20 overall goals, and one unassuming year with lowly Wuppertaler SV, in Germany, where he called it quits at almost 35.

International career
