It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that former BBRFC player Dirk Straathof tragically died on 4 November 2011, as a result of a serious traffic accident whilst cycling in Brussels a few days earlier: Dirk, aged 53, was a Vice President of Proctor & Gamble, based in Belgium.
An outstanding back row forward, Dirk played for Brussels British initially in the mid 80s and again in the early 90s: he was a Netherlands international player, who had also captained the Dutch national team.
We understand that the funeral will be at 11.00 on Friday 11 November at the Kloosterkerk, Lange Voorhout 2 , Den Haag.
BBRFC players, past & present, send their sincere condolences to Dirk’s wife Brigitte and his family and our thoughts are with them at this very sad time.
