Ed Sol

Johan Wilhelm Eduard "Eetje" Sol (10 June 1881 – 21 October 1965) was a Dutch footballer who played as a forward for HVV Den Haag. He was a member of the Dutch team that won the bronze medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics.

Club career Sol spent his entire playing career at HVV, thus being part of the so-called one-club men group. In total, he scored 122 goals in 133 matches for the club, with his goalscoring performances proving crucial in helping the club win the Dutch championship five times in the 1900s, including four successive championships between 1900 and 1903. In the tournament, he scored five goals in the first round in an 8–1 trashing of hosts Léopold FC, and despite not scoring again in the semi-finals or in the final, which ended in a 1–2 loss to fellow Dutch club RAP, his 5-goal haul was enough for him to be crowned as the top scorer of the tournament.

International career He represented the Dutch team at the 1908 Summer Olympics, helping his nation win the bronze medal in the football tournament. He played both matches as a midfielder, including the 2-0 win over Sweden in the bronze medal match.
