Jeffrey de Visscher

Jeffrey De Visscher (born 5 May 1981 in Almelo, Netherlands) is a Dutch professional footballer who is currently playing for Rohda Raalte. He is infamous for an incident in 2012 when he was caught drink driving. The Dutch police found him defecating beside a road. De Visscher defended himself saying that his friend was driving, but there was indeed no friend around, hinted at by his inability to remember the name of his "friend". After hearing this news his club, FC Emmen, decided that they would release him.

From the age of 14, De Visscher played for FC Twente, and went on to sign professional terms with the club at the age of 18. Jeffrey struggled to make the impact he was predicted to. However after a successful loan spell at FC Emmen followed, and while he was there, he impressed his coach at FC Twente to the extent that De Visscher was offered a 3-year deal with the club. However, he only played 21 games in two seasons, and was eventually moved out on loan to Heracles Almelo, where he helped the club gain promotion to the Eredivisie.

De Visscher signed a two-year deal with De Graafschap once his contract with FC Twente had ended, and helped the club become champions of the Dutch First Division.

In May 2007, De Visscher signed a two-year deal with Aberdeen. He made a promising debut in a friendly against non-league Cove Rangers. He made only 16 starting appearances in his first season, however he did manage two goals in the Scottish Cup, one came in a reply against Falkirk and the other came against Celtic in a quarter-final tie. Aberdeen were later knocked out in the semi-finals against lower opposition; Queen of the South.

In the SPL he made a lot of substitute appearances, and towards the end of the season, he began to be a first team regular. De Visscher's only league goal came against Hearts in a 4–1 defeat.

During the summer of 2008, Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood told an Aberdeen local paper, to expect big things from the Dutch winger. Subsequently he was handed the number 17 shirt for Aberdeen's season of 2008–2009.

In January 2009 he joined SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden.

In August 2010 he signed for FC Emmen.
