World Cup Dutch Team Captain Giovanni Van Bronckhorst Joins Island Dignitaries In Honoring Pioneering Aruban Soccer Player Eleuterio “Boes” Orman
New sign with Boes Orman van Bronckhorst Minister Visser, Orman Benny Zevinger and PM Mike Eman
Sunday afternoon, August 1, the historic community of Rancho, on the outskirts of Oranjestad, honored Aruba’s first soccer player to turn professional and compete internationally, Eleuterio “Boes” Orman. Aruba Prime Minister Mike Eman, Minister of Public Health and Sport Richard Visser, and Minister of Integration, Infrastructure and Environment Oslin, “Benny” Zevinger welcomed a special guest, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, for the occasion. Van Bronckhorst has been captain of the Dutch National team since 2008 and led them to the finals in the World Cup last month; he graciously lent his presence to the celebration.
The tribute to Boes Orman centered around renaming a main thoroughfare, Arendstreet – “Eagle Street,” which traverses from Rancho through Madiki to the beginning of what was once the community that housed executives of Shell Oil from the late 1920’s until after WWII, known as Eagle. The street is now Caya Eleuterio “Boes” Orman, and the street sign marking this occasion was unveiled to stand just outside Mr. Orman’s home at the head of the block where it begins.
Prime Minister Eman commended Boes, who is now 95 years old, for being a role model to other island youth to develop their talent at soccer and go into the world to compete on behalf of their homeland and professionally. Boes competed for the Jablo Rochas team and then Dos Caminos of Venezuela beginning in 1942, moved on to play for the Jong Holland team in Curaçao in 1946, and joined the Aruba Juniors and RCA teams in 1952 and 1954. Throughout his long soccer career, over 50 years, he inspired youngsters to athletic excellence and healthy pastimes.
Unveiling the Sign
Minister Zevinger mentioned during his address that this event marks the commencement of the beautification of Rancho, which is presently highlighted in a special exhibit at the Aruba National Archaeological Museum in Oranjestad. Landscaping and renovations of the many landmark buildings will continue throughout the area and its surroundings.
Van Bronckhorst, who retired from active play after this last World Cup, kindly signed soccer balls and tee shirts for excited fans during his brief public appearance. The soccer megastar has earned over 100 caps while playing for the Dutch national team; 3 from the World Cup and 3 from the European Championships. Following this last World Cup he was decorated and named a Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau.
Fa Orman, family to Boes, was called to the podium to say a few words on his behalf. He thanked those present, particularly van Bronckhorst, for the honor, with special thanks for the large number of retired island soccer pros who came to honor Boes. He expressed the hope that other districts of the island would similarly recognize them for their continued efforts through the years to encourage youth to athletic excellence and the pursuit of healthy pastimes.
