The 2020-21 campaign was a season defined by the emotional, high-profile comeback of club legend Arjen Robben as The Pride of the North secured a respectable 7th-place finish in the Eredivisie, qualifying for the European play-offs. Robben's long-awaited return to his boyhood club was unfortunately plagued by injuries, though he did provide a moment of magic with two crucial assists in a 4-0 victory over Emmen. The side was also anchored by the emerging striker Jørgen Strand Larsen, whose 9 goals proved decisive and led the team's scoring charts, making it a memorable year under manager Danny Buijs that remains a proud chapter in the club's modern history.
