Gerardus ("Gerrie") Dominicus Hyacinthus Maria Mühren[1] (2 February 1946 – 19 September 2013) was a Dutch footballer who played as a midfielder.[2] [3] He was the older brother of Arnold Mühren, who likewise played for the Netherlands national team.[2]

Whilst at Ajax he won three European Cup winners medals.[4] [5] [6] He also scored in back-to-back KNVB Cup final wins for Ajax in 1971 and 1972. He scored Ajax' 1000th Eredivisie goal against Telstar and the winning goal of the 1972–73 European Cup semi-final second leg against Real Madrid.[7]
He later played for Real Betis in Spain, and Seiko in Hong Kong. Whilst he was at Betis they won the 1977 Copa del Rey but he was denied a winners' medal, for foreigners were not allowed to play in the cup competition.[8]
In 1983, he won the Dutch Eerste Divisie title with DS '79,[9] but the club was relegated from the Eredivisie the next year, which prompted him to return for a final season to Volendam.[10]
