Juul Ellerman (born 7 October 1965) is a Dutch former professional footballer, who played as a winger or as a forward.

Club career

Ellerman started his professional career at Sparta and moved to PSV in 1988. He scored twice in a famous 1989 5–1 Champions' Cup win over previous year's finalists Steaua Bucharest with Romário scoring a hattrick and he scored the first ever hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League on 16 September 1992 for PSV Eindhoven against Žalgiris Vilnius in a 6–0 win. In 1994, Ellerman was deemed surplus to requirements and left PSV for FC Twente to replace Boudewijn Pahlplatz who moved the opposite way. He suffered from a serious knee injury and joined NEC in 1997 after Twente manager Hans Meyer said he did not need Ellerman's services anymore.

He retired in 2002 while playing for Helmond Sport.[citation needed]

International career

He was capped for the national under-21 team and made his senior debut for the Netherlands national team in a January 1989 friendly match against Israel. He earned a total of 5 caps, scoring no goals. His final international was a September 1991 friendly against Poland.
