Noud van Melis – International Appearances

The outstanding Dutch player played 13 matches (15 goals) for his National Team. He scored in 8 consecutive matches, a record only bettered for the Netherlands by Wout Buitenweg who scored in 9 consecutive matches for the national team. However, unlike Buitenweg, who managed this from his second to his tenth match for the Netherlands, Van Melis did so in his first eight matches for "Oranje". Moreover, during this series, the Netherlands did not play any other matches in which Van Melis did not play (something which does not apply to Buitenweg's series). All matches are friendlies unless stated otherwise.
