Wilhelmus Edwin Gorter (born 6 July 1963) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Early and personal life

[edit]

Born in The Hague,[2] Gorter's mother died when he was 8 years old.[3]

Gorter has two children,[4] including son Donny who is also a professional footballer.[3][5] His other child is a daughter, Sharon.[3] Gorter has described himself as a "stern but fair" father.[3]

Playing career

[edit]

Gorter played for RVC, DS'79, Roda JC, Lugano, Caen, Lommel, Utrecht, Vitesse Arnhem, NAC Breda, the New England Revolution and the Miami Fusion.[2][6]

While playing in Switzerland for FC Lugano, Gorter won the Foreigner of the Year award for the 1990–91 season.[5]

In 1994, while playing for FC Utrecht, Gorter attempted to gouge the eyes of opposition player Björn van der Doelen,[5][7] receiving a seven-match ban as a result.[8] He left the club at the end of that season.[9]

He moved to the United States in February 1998,[10] playing in Major League Soccer for the New England Revolution and the Miami Fusion.[11][12]

Later career

[edit]

After he retired from playing football, Gorter became a player's agent.[4] He later worked as a television analyst for Eredivisie Live, and as a regional distributor for Cambridge België health products.[13]
