Sije Visser (born 27 August 1950) is a Dutch former professional footballer and sports administrator. Known for his hard-working defensive play, he remains the record appearance holder at Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen, playing 440 games over fifteen seasons.
Born in Menaldum, a village in Friesland, Visser started his career at semi-professional club Hermes DVS in Schiedam, where he played primarily as a left-back. In 1971, he signed his first professional contract at Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen. He spent fifteen seasons with the club, becoming the all-time record appearance maker. After his retirement in 1986, he became a board member at the club, and also worked in the scouting department. He resigned from his position in 2014, in the wake of the club's relegation from the top flight.[1]
After retirement he also worked as a tax adviser.
In April 2017 a documentary about Visser's career with NEC was broadcast by FOX Sports, called Een Leven Lang NEC (A lifetime of NEC). In September 2021, a crowdfunding campaign was set up by NEC supporters to erect a statue of Visser, as well as record goalscorer Frans Janssen, outside the Goffertstadion.[2]
