Die mentaliteit heeft hij <strong>in</strong> zijn geboorteland<br />
opgedaan. Voetballers van Stoke City bereiken<br />
veel door <strong>in</strong>zet. Voetballers uit het zuiden van<br />
Engeland zijn mooie jongens en verwende<br />
k<strong>in</strong>deren. Spelers van het nationale elftal. Die<br />
hebben niet de spirit van Newcastle en Liverpool.<br />
Nee, <strong>in</strong>zet. Daar kom je verder mee.<br />
Vies, hè<br />
Is hij nu helemaal vernederlandst? Nee, niet<br />
helemaal. Hij mist hier de harde Engelse humor<br />
van “de jongens <strong>in</strong> de pub”. <strong>De</strong> donkere humor<br />
van Blackadder, een televisiekomedie van de BBC<br />
met een satirische kijk op de Britse geschiedenis.<br />
Ook mist hij de orig<strong>in</strong>ele steak pie en de fish and<br />
chips met een dikke soort snert (met azijn<br />
uiteraard). ‘Vies, hè’, zegt Darren zelf al. Maar hij<br />
gaat nog even door met wat de m<strong>in</strong>der verfijnde<br />
Engelse keuken te bieden heeft en hij zo van<br />
smult: ’s ochtends lekkere black pudd<strong>in</strong>g<br />
(gebakken bloedworst), eieren, bacon en<br />
tomaten, met brood gebakken <strong>in</strong> vet. ‘Dit alles<br />
spoel je dan weg met twee liter Gu<strong>in</strong>ness als je<br />
voetbal gaat kijken ...’<br />
On top and English is his appearance. Not only his face, but his football shirt of Newcastle betrayed his orig<strong>in</strong>s. S<strong>in</strong>ce Darren<br />
is not it, for he was proud of his region. It is a poor part of England with high unemployment, though. Certa<strong>in</strong>ly the late 80s<br />
when he left for the Netherlands. „It was then dark times. Unemployment was alarm<strong>in</strong>g, especially <strong>in</strong> the steel and coal<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry, „says Darren <strong>in</strong> perfect Dutch. The only bright spot <strong>in</strong> those days football. Stoke City club was natural. When he<br />
went to matches saw a bright life. „I can not expla<strong>in</strong> what that is. You must experience „, he enthusiastically little light<br />
illum<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g far. They had a few excit<strong>in</strong>g life. Soccer was the only outlet. Then they drank Gu<strong>in</strong>ness until they dropped. ‘This<br />
dr<strong>in</strong>k comes gush<strong>in</strong>g from the time of the coal m<strong>in</strong>es, „Darren knows. „The workers washed their dust lung ‘clean’ with beer.”<br />
Soccer - it is now for <strong>De</strong> Graafschap, because he lives <strong>in</strong> Achterhoek - is still a passion of Darren. Besides motorcycl<strong>in</strong>g.Dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a holiday on the eng<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> France know his wife. No Pumpjack and liked him. Darren is still an avid motorcyclist. He is <strong>in</strong><br />
possession of a Honda VFR 800i sports V-TEC eng<strong>in</strong>e and two Kawasaki’s ZRX 1200, which has been developed <strong>in</strong>to a drag<br />
bike. „He has 200hp to” the „rear”, says Darren tough, „and goes 320 km / h (if you’re him, you hold down at least). Do not<br />
want, because there will have to cross fire of one meters long from the titanium exhaust. „<br />
Laptop and dredg<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Darren came <strong>in</strong> September 2001 by Bruil as bricklayer. After three years he went through his back. From that moment he was<br />
haunted by physical misery. Through various back and knee operations, he had long been out of circulation. Bruil He is very<br />
grateful that he still could rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> service and that he has work he can handle physically. As manager of mach<strong>in</strong>ery<br />
and equipment makes it all servic<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>spections. EBC also approve equipment, from laboratory to ladder and<br />
valtuig. He arranges transportation or climbs <strong>in</strong> the truck itself. He is a man of everyth<strong>in</strong>g „. ‘Sometimes I walk<br />
with a laptop, sometimes I Banjer by the dredg<strong>in</strong>g, „Darren describes his own work. Typical of how he does<br />
th<strong>in</strong>gs is his commitment. That mentality has ga<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> his homeland. Soccer players of Stoke City<br />
achieve much by commitment. Footballers from the south of England are pretty boys and<br />
spoiled children. Players of the national team. They have not the spirit of Newcastle and<br />
Liverpool. No, bet. There you will go along.<br />
Dirty, eh<br />
Is he completely Dutchified? No, not quite. He now misses the humor of<br />
hard English „the boys <strong>in</strong> the pub”. The dark humor of Blackadder,<br />
one of the BBC television comedy with a satirical view of British<br />
history. He also misses the orig<strong>in</strong>al steak pie and fish and<br />
chips with a k<strong>in</strong>d of thick pea soup (with v<strong>in</strong>egar of<br />
course). „Dirty, huh,” says Darren al But he himself goes<br />
through here with what the less sophisticated English<br />
cuis<strong>in</strong>e has to offer and so he smult of the morn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
delicious black pudd<strong>in</strong>g (fried blood sausage), eggs, bacon<br />
and tomatoes, with bread fried <strong>in</strong> fat. „All you r<strong>in</strong>se it away with<br />
two liters Gu<strong>in</strong>ness when you go watch soccer ...”<br />
