Shocking Nazi reference stuns Holland on weekend when footballers took a stand against racism following alleged abuse suffered by Excelsior striker Ahmad Mendes Moreira last weekend
Dutch legend Marco van Basten was last night involved in a race storm that has rocked Holland.
Van Basten was overheard saying ‘Sieg Heil’ at the end of a TV interview with Heracles’ German manager Frank Wormuth, following their defeat to Ajax.
The former Milan and Ajax striker, a pundit on Dutch TV, thought his microphone was off... but it wasn’t.
Van Basten’s shocking homage to Adolf Hitler has stunned Holland.
The 55-year-old was quick to apologise, saying his comment was meant as a joke about his colleague Hans Kraay's German.
"It was not my intention at all to shock people. I only wanted to 'explain' Hans' German," Van Basten said.
