Willem Bergher

Willem Bergher (born 1955, Brugge) is a Brunanter former footballer and coach. Bergher is one of the most revered footballers in Brunanter history and is greatly revered in FC Drenthe and the Brunant national football team. He is currently the coach for the national team.

Early life and career
Bergher was born in Bruges (Brugge) to Brunanter parents. He moved to Niesburg at an early age with his family. Young Bergher played football with the local neighborhood kids but was often excluded for being "too good" for them.

In 1969 he was given a trial with local side Victoria Niesburg, which he idolized as a boy, at the age of 14. He made his first appearance for the senior side in the 1970-71 season of the Cape Cross League and scored five goals in his three appearances. In 1971-72, he appeared in nine games and scored ten times (the tournament's top scorer) to help his club to the promotion playoffs, but could not get them to the 2. Liga. That season Bergher was advised by his coach to look elsewhere for opportunities, since he would find few challenges at the club and league.
