Andwélé Slory

After replacing Luciano van Kallen in the 44th minute, Slory scored both goals for Stormvogels Telstar.

Slory played 35 Eerste Divisie matches for Stormvogels Telstar, in which he scored 12 goals.

Slory slowly grew out to be an important player for the club from Velsen.

Slory replaced Orlando Smeekes in the 73rd minute of the home match against Excelsior (1–3).

Andwélé Cedric Slory (born 27 September 1982) is a Dutch former professional footballer.

He played as a right winger.

After his professional debut for Stormvogels Telstar at the age of 18, Slory promoted to the Eredivisie with his next club Excelsior.

In the Eredivisie, Slory had an impressive season with Excelsior.

Slory became the club's top scorer with 12 goals, made his debut in the Netherlands national football team and earned a transfer to Feyenoord.

Slory joined Telstar's first team squad in the season 2000–01, but did not play a single match for the first team.

In 2001, Telstar merged with Slory's previous amateur club, Stormvogels, which resulted in a name change; Stormvogels Telstar.

At the age of 18, Slory made his professional debut in the Dutch Eerste Divisie on 18 August 2001.

On 4 November 2001, Slory was named in the starting line-up of the home match against HFC Haarlem (0–1) for the first and only time of the season.

Slory played nine matches in his first season, without scoring any goals.

After a promising debut season, Slory had a disappointing follow-up season.

In the season 2002–03, Slory only made two appearances in the club's first team.

Slory had his breakthrough in the season 2003–04.

On 5 September 2003, Slory scored his first professional goals in the home match win against Heracles Almelo (2–1).

In the season 2004–05, Slory played 31 league matches, scoring 9 goals.

As Slory's ambition went beyond the club's, Slory was ready for a new challenge.

On 21 February 2005, Excelsior announced the transfer of the 22 years old winger.

Slory signed a two-year deal with the third club of Rotterdam.

Feyenoord was also part of the agreement, as the Eredivisie club had the first option on the player.

Due to injuries, Slory had a difficult start at Feyenoord, but became a first team regular in the season 2009–10.

Later he played in England, Bulgaria and Australia, then retired from playing professionally for 3 years until he joined FC Dordrecht in 2015, where he retired once again after six months.

Slory has also played for the Netherlands national football team.

Slory was born in Paramaribo, Suriname, where he lived until he was seven years old.

Slory's father is a former player of the Surinamese football club S.V. Robinhood and the Suriname national football team, where he played as an attacking midfielder.

Slory left Suriname when his mother started to study in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands Slory first lived in Zaandam, North Holland.

After two months the family moved to Heemskerk, North Holland.

When Slory was in the Netherlands for almost a year, a friend of his mother signed him up for his first amateur football club.

Slory started his youth career at local Heemskerk club ODIN '59.

Soon he joined Stormvogels, a regional club with teams playing on the highest national youth levels.

Eventually he got the option to join a professional side.

The Dutch Eerste Divisie clubs AZ and Telstar, both based in North Holland, were interested in the youngster.

Slory decided to play for Telstar.

Main reason for his decision was the fact there were already friends of him playing for the club from Velsen.

At the age of 15, Slory was almost sent away from the club.

Mainly thanks to his coach, Toon Gerrits, the youngster changed positively: "I had an evaluation talk with Toon Gerrits. We had a good talk and after that my development went sky high. I still thank him for that."
