He then explained his final years at the academy, saying: "I had now signed a three-year contract at the age of eighteen.

In the first half of the second season I had to come back from that injury.

That took time, of course.

I was told I could leave.

I was able to go to the Excelsior satellite club.

But I didn't see it that way.

That club then played - nine, ten years ago - without any prospects in the first division.

At that time there were few examples of players who came out well again.

I'm not going to be stabled at Excelsior, you do that with a cow.' At his father's request, he accepted the invitation to play with the Suriprofs team.

That was then coached by Henk ten Cate.

Engelaar left such a good impression that the Amsterdam trainer offered him a contract on behalf of NAC.
