René van Rijswijk (born 3 January 1971) is a Dutch former footballer who played as a forward for RKC Waalwijk, SC Cambuur and NEC.[1][2] During his playing career, Van Rijswijk was a recognisable figure due to his long hair, which he wore in a ponytail.[3][4] He was also known for his relatively low goalscoring output, which earned him the nickname "De spits zonder doelpunten" ("The striker without goals").[5]
