Career

Van de Kamp joined Dundee United in 1991 from Dutch side Den Bosch as a replacement for Billy Thomson, and battled with Alan Main for the No.1 jersey for the first couple of seasons. Van de Kamp was in goal for most of the 1991-92 season, playing in 30 out of the 49 matches, but was in goal for only one game the following season - a 3-0 defeat at home to Hibernian. Van de Kamp took over again halfway through the 1993-94 season, just as United's successful Scottish Cup run began, playing in the Final. This was his last game for United and after a contract dispute with the club he returned home, but came back to Scotland and played for Dunfermline, Raith and Alloa, winning a Scottish First Division championship medal with Dunfermline. He also spent a brief spell on loan with Glentoran towards the end of the 1996-97 season[1] but rejected a permanent deal with them after indicating his intention to retire.[2] However, he ultimately signed for Raith after being contacted by Jimmy Nicholl.[3] Van de Kamp remains hugely popular with Glentoran supporters, despite lasting less than a month with the club.[4]

Van de Kamp was one of four ex-Dundee United players inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in 2017.[5]
