Feyenoord's impressive honors include fourteen Dutch championships, ten Dutch cups, two UEFA Cups and - thanks to Swedish striker Ove Kindvall's legendary goal against Celtic at Milan's San Siro - Europe's most prestigious football trophy, the European Champions Cup. Feyenoord were the first Dutch side to win it (1970). The World Cup for club teams followed the same year. But trophies and titles are not the main concern of the average Feyenoord fan. Alright: Ajax have more silverware - so what? Feyenoord fans are proud of other things. Their impressive home ground, for example, officially named Stadion Feyenoord but known to everyone as De Kuip ('The Tub', literally). It is generally regarded as the most authentic and atmospheric football temple in Holland. Quite typically for Rotterdam's working man's identity, the fans built their home themselves: the stadium was an unemployment relief project during the economic crisis of the 1930s.
