Sjaak Swart is Ajax. The Ajax icon, who turned 88 on Friday, is still out on the pitch every week for a rondo with his friends. We brought an unsuspecting Mister Ajax to Zeeburgia, where he was surprised by everyone he holds dear. "I was thinking: who are those crazy people over there wearing number eight?"
Monday and Thursday afternoons at Zeeburgia are a fixture. It's time for Sjaak Swart's rondo with his group of friends. A bit of technical ability in your left or right foot is an advantage. Leaving your worries behind and having fun is essential. That was certainly the case this week, as Mister Ajax celebrated his 88th birthday. For the occasion, the entire group turned up, including Guus Hiddink, Daphne Koster, Donny van de Beek, Viggo Waas, Danny Muller (son of Bennie) and Hans van der Zee.
