Football career

De Jong started off his career in the second division, where he played for Telstar and SC Heerenveen. He earned a reputation as a tough tackler, and his performances did not go unnoticed by top flight clubs, as he joined first division giants PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 1989.

At Eindhoven, de Jong's career never really picked up, due to the stiff competition for a starting line-up berth. After having played only 51 matches (two goals) in five years, including a short loan spell at FC Groningen, he was eventually let go. However, during his time at PSV, he capped three times for the Netherlands, making his debut on 21 November 1990 against Greece, in a UEFA Euro 1992 qualifying match; his last match was on 17 April 1991 against Finland, for the same competition.

In 1994, de Jong moved to France, signing with top division outfit SM Caen. After an uneventful season (only 15 matches, relegation), he returned home, playing for lowly FC Eindhoven and MVV Maastricht; he retired at almost 37, eventually losing the vast majority of his fortune to gambling.[1]
