About Hans Gillhaus

Johannes "Hans" Paulus Gillhaus is a Dutch retired professional footballer who played primarily as a left-sided forward. The former netted 15 goals in only 26 games in his first season, helping the Philips club to a historic treble – he appeared 105 minutes in the campaign's European Cup final, a 0–0 penalty shootout win against S.L. He scored a career-best 22 goals in his first full season, as they finished fourth and qualified to the UEFA Cup. Milan bought Ruud Gullit from PSV Eindhoven for a world-record transfer fee £6,000,000, and that money was soon used in the acquisition of Gillhaus, Wim Kieft and Søren Lerby.
