John Taihuttu (18 November 1954 – 17 January 2016) was a Dutch professional footballer.
A pacy winger, Taihuttu spent his professional football career at FC VVV, except for a half season loan spell at Fortuna Sittard in 1985.[1] Dutch football commentator Theo Koomen famously nicknamed him Winnetou after a speedy run by the long haired forward resembled him of the historic Indian chief.[1]
By the time of his death, Taihuttu was 19th on VVV's all-time top goalscorers list with 36.[2]
His younger brother Jerry Taihuttu and his son Gino also played professionally.
Taihuttu later became youth coach at Fortuna and coached SV Blerick until his death.[3] He died of cancer in January 2016.[4]
