and that on the weekend when we had 1 moment of silence against racism in competition

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.

''having a laugh'' it's not funny and especially when the person involved could hear it too because it was a skype videolink between studio in hilversum and amsterdam arena

and also when there's quite a lot of german players too at heracles Almelo, also might've been very upset
