Career

[edit]

Sissingh was born in Groningen in 1899 as the son of Hieronymus Jacobus Sissingh.[2] He began his football career with GSAVV Forward. Between 1915 and 1934, he played for Be Quick 1887, winning the national championship with the team in 1920.

At the end of 1920 and the beginning of 1921, while traveling for his work as a wine buyer, Sissingh also played for several months in France with Vie au grand air du Médoc from Mérignac.[3][4]

On 12 June 1921, Sissingh made his debut for the Netherlands national football team in a friendly match against Denmark, which ended in a 1–1 draw.

In 1928 he took over the family wine merchant's business "H. J. Sissingh" in Groningen. He managed to make the company grow successfully. In 1936 the business celebrated its 125 anniversary.[2]

Between 1929 and 1932, he served as head coach of Be Quick (Groningen). He was also part of the club’s board of directors and later became an honorary member of the club.[5][6][7][8]

Sissingh was married to G. Kruizinga and was father. He died on 31 May 1960 in Amsterdam at the age of 60.[9]

A street in the Van Starkenborgh district of Groningen, the Siebold Sissinghlaan, was named in his honor.
