Danny Petrus Hesp (born 19 October 1969) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a defender.
Born in Amsterdam, Hesp started at local Ajax, but only appeared in nine Eredivisie games in three seasons combined, all in his first.
A very promising player, he broke his leg after a sliding tackle in 1988 and never fully recovered to reach his full potential.
[1][2][3] Released in 1990, Hesp resumed his career with Heerenveen, going to play until 2005 with several clubs in the top level (Roda, AZ, NEC and RBC) and also spending three seasons – two complete, two halves – with second division's Top Oss.
A goalkeeper, he was best known for his three-year stint with Spain's Barcelona; the pair played together in the 1995–96 campaign, at Roda.
