Biography

He spent his entire playing career at H.V.V., winning the Dutch championship several times. In 1900, Mundt was a member of the H.V.V. side that participated in the first edition of the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz in 1900, regarded by many as the first-ever European club trophy.[2] In the tournament, he scored one goal in the first round in an 8–1 trashing of hosts Léopold FC.[3]

He was the captain of the Dutch team team at the 1908 Summer Olympics, helping his nation win the bronze medal in the football tournament. He only featured in one match, the 0-4 defeat at the hands of Great Britain.[1] In total, he earned four caps for the Netherlands (two wins and two losses), all of which as captain.[4]
