Is that correct ? nearly right, this is the fourth time in the last 50 years but we might as well take the records back to 1954 when professional football was introduced. The first two seasons, 54/55 & 55/56, the champion was determined by a mini-league/play-off between the winners of the different leagues. It was only in 1956 a proper league, the Eredivisie, was introduced. The first season, 56/57 Ajax where the champions. the big three apart the only champions have been: 57/58 DOS 58/59 Sparta 63/64 DWS 80/81 AZ '67 08/09 AZ 09/10 FC Twente Ajax have been champions 21 times, PSV 18x and Feyenoord 9x guy _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
