Original retro vintage football shirt VV Wilhelmus

VV Wilhelmus is an amateur football club from Voorburg, in the Dutch province of South Holland.

On August 1, 1913, RKSV Wilhelmus was founded by Pastor John M. van Houten and Mgr. Wilhelmus van Stee, which makes it the oldest football club in Voorburg.

The club had its first playing field on a meadow next to the old location of the St. Antoniushove hospital in Voorburg. After the First World War, this location was exchanged for the Vriendschap sports park at Oosteinde in Voorburg. The clubhouse burned down completely on June 7, 1963. The new clubhouse was built in the same location.

In the 1960s the club was renamed from RKSV to the more general V.V. Wilhelmus. The football club is named after Mgr. from Stee. In 1970 the club moved to the current location of Westvliet sports park in Leidschendam, now The Hague.

In 1999 Wilhelmus won the Haagsche Courant Cup for the second time. In the preliminary rounds Erasmus won 5-2, Blauw Zwart 5-4, RAVA 7-0, 's-Gravenzandse SV 3-1, DSO (Sat.) 8-1, Quick 0-0 (w.n.s. ) and defeated with JAC 1-3. The final was on the RKAVV grounds on May 29. FC Kranenburg was defeated 4-2.

Wilhelmus has been playing in a yellow-black vertically striped shirt, black pants and yellow-black ringed socks for many years.
