Biography

In 1902 he was part of one of the infamous "Van Hasselt XI" sides that faced the Belgium national team in a series of unofficial meetings between the two sides in the early 1900s, netting his side's consolation goal in a 1–2 loss on 15 December 1902.[2]

On 30 April 1905, Lotsij went down in history as one of the eleven footballers who played in the first-ever game of the Dutch national team at the Coupe Vanden Abeele, helping his side to a 4–1 victory over Belgium in Antwerp.[3] Lotsij then had to wait four years before earning another cap for the Dutch, which was again in a 4–1 win against Belgium on 25 April 1909.[4]

Without playing in any other game, he was called up to the Dutch Olympic squad in 1912, starting in all four matches as a midfielder (three of which as the team captain), including the bronze medal match against Finland in which he helped his team with a 9–0 win to not only secure a second bronze medal in a row, but also was a record-breaking victory for the Netherlands at the time.[1][4]

It took him two more years for Lotsij to score his first and last international goal in a friendly against Germany on 5 April 1914 to help his side salvage a 4–4 draw. He played his last match for the team six weeks later, on 17 May 1914, in a friendly against Denmark.[4]
