*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
The left-sided midfielder from Wamel made his professional debut for NEC on 12 September 1971 against SC Telstar and also played for Go Ahead Eagles, before joining Dutch giants Feyenoord for whom he would play 7 years.[1] He won the 1979–80 KNVB Cup with the club, but he had to quit football in 1984 due to injuries of his achilles tendon.
He obtained one cap for the Dutch national team, when the Netherlands lost to the Republic of Ireland on 10 September 1980 in Dublin.[2]
After retiring as a player, van Deinsen coached amateur sides Babberich and JVC Cuijk and was assistant at several professional clubs as well as to fellow Dutch managers Clemens Westerhof at Nigeria and Wim Rijsbergen at Trinidad and Tobago.[3] In 2003 he was named manager of Eerste Divisie club MVV,[4] only to leave them in February 2004.[5]
He was appointed manager of Achilles '29 in July 2012 after leaving the amateurs of JVC Cuijk.[6]
