Career Ardesch spent most of his career as backup goalkeeper, notably with ADO Den Haag from 1966 to 1967.

He almost signed with Atlético Madrid in 1971, but could not sign due to foreigner restrictions. On 12 March 1971, he was celebrated by ADO for his 250th appearance on the substitute bench.

Death Ardesch died of a heart attack on 26 November 2019 at the age of 76.

Personal life Ardesch's son-in-law Sander Westerveld, and grandson Sem Westerveld, are also professional football goalkeepers.
