Ronnie Brunswijk: What happened to 61-year-old vice-president who bought football club
Who remembers the name Ronnie Brunswijk?
No?
Well, what if we remind you that he is the vice-president of Suriname.
Ring any bells?
Last September, we brought you the incredible story of Brunswijk and how the political figure bought Inter Moengotapoe – the club that one of his sons plays for.
We say ‘one of his sons’ because, according to a New York Times profile, he has “at least 50 children.”
“An elite paratrooper, a soccer player, a wanted bank robber, a guerrilla leader, a gold baron and a father to at least 50 children during his lifetime,” wrote the New York Times.
In September, a 60-year-old Brunswijk decided to play himself in the CONCACAF League, North America and the Caribbean’s version of the Europa League, against Honduras side Olimpia.
