John Blankenstein Foundation<\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

John Blankenstein was one of the best referees on Dutch fields in the 1980s and 1990s. John never made a secret of being homosexual. This put him at the forefront of the football world. John dreamed of a sports world in which everyone felt the freedom to be themselves. In 2008 - two years after John's death - his sister set up a foundation bearing her brother's name to continue his legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
