Jacobus Johannes "Jack" Tuijp (born 23 August 1983) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played as a striker.

With 176 goals in 400 games, Tuijp number is two on the all-time topscorer list of Volendam, behind his great-uncle,[4] Dick Tol.

Tuijp made his debut at the highest level in the Eredivisie season opener against SC Heerenveen on 17 August 2003.

Tuijp became the starting striker of the Volendam team under head coach Henk Wisman and later under his successor Johan Steur and scored his first Eredivisie goal one month after his debut in the league, in a match against ADO Den Haag.

However, he was unable to surpass his number of goals from the previous season, as Volendam finished seventeenth and relegated to the Eerste Divisie.

He played under a youth contract and was simultaneously a student of business economics at the Hogeschool voor Economische Studies (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences).

[8] Tuijp left Volendam before their return to the Eerste Divisie, and signed a five-year contract with Eredivisie club Groningen in the summer of 2004, who paid approximately €800,000 for him.

[11] There, Tuijp came to play more and with the club he finished in third place behind title winners Excelsior and vice-champion VVV-Venlo that season.

After 26 minutes of play, Tuijp scored the only goal of the game and thus secured the title for Volendam and a return to the Eredivisie after an absence of four seasons.

[18] In December 2008, sports journalist Johan Derksen brought out a rumor in the talk show Voetbal International that Ajax would be interested in Tuijp.

[26] Manager Hans de Koning appointed Tuijp team captain of Volendam ahead of the 2012–13 season.

On the last round of play, a draw was enough for the championship, but they lost to Go Ahead Eagles who would later achieve promotion to the Eredivisie via the play-offs at the expense of Volendam.

[30] Tuijp had also wanted to leave the Palingboeren the previous season, after Azerbaijani club Khazar Lankaran had showed their interest.

[31] The free agent Tuijp enjoyed the interest of Greek club AEK Athens in the summer of 2013,[32][33] but again a move failed to go through.

[35] He met many fellow countrymen at the Hungarian club, including Julian Jenner, Mark Otten and Arsenio Valpoort who already played for Ferencváros, with Ricardo Moniz as the head coach.

After Pécs equalized after an hour of play, Ferencváros eventually won the match 1–2, thanks to a goal from fellow countryman Arsenio Valpoort in the 77th minute.

[40] In the last match before the winter break, Tuijp sat on the bench under interim trainer Csaba Máté the entire game.

His access card to the main gate of the club complex was revoked and he had to practice individually and without a ball three times a day.

[43] However, he was not yet fit to play, which meant he was not part of the matchday squad for the season opener against Jong FC Twente.

In the penultimate game before the winter break, Tuijp suffered a hamstring injury, which prevented him from playing his old club Volendam a week later.

[45] Due to persistent injuries, Tuijp played less and less for Helmond Sport in the second half of the season and eventually lost his starting place.

In the final minutes, Telstar received a penalty kick and goalkeeper Wouter van der Steen was sent off with a red card.

[46] On 6 May 2015, FC Volendam announced through their official channels that Tuijp and Kees Kwakman were returning to the club ahead of the upcoming season.

After not appearing in the lost home game, interim coach Johan Steur brought on Tuijp after 73 minutes to replace Rihairo Meulens.

[55] After it was announced in late March 2017 that Tuijp was going to leave FC Volendam at the end of the season, he started looking for a new club.

No other professional club was deemed interesting, as Tuijp, who lives in Volendam, had just become the father of his second child and did not want to travel far.

After the last match of the season, Tuijp said in an interview with Fox Sports that he was in talks with a club in the third-tier Tweede Divisie.

At De Dijk, Tuijp was reunited with former teammates Jeroen Verhoeven, Frank Schilder, Maarten Woudenberg, Ahmed Ahahaoui and Harry Zwarthoed.

[58] On 2 September, Tuijp made his official debut for De Dijk in the Tweede Divisie in a match against Jong Sparta (1–0 win).

[61] On 2 September 2003, he was called up together with Anouar Diba by interim national coach Cor Pot as additions for two qualifying matches for the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship against Austria U21 and Czech Republic U21, respectively.
