Cor van der Gijp had 13 caps on the Dutch national team and was sold for 18,000 guilders to Feyenoord.

After its best players left and under the pressure of the KNVB, who were concerned about the long-term viability of three professional football clubs from one town, SC Emma relegated to lower leagues (EBOH left professional football in 1962 and FC Dordrecht continues, usually in the Eerste Divisie).

In November 1960 Emma stood dead-last in the Eerste Klasse, having played one more game than all other teams, and were beaten 6–2 by ONA Gouda.

Also in 2014, Emma lost 16–0 to Dordrecht neighbor VV Wieldrecht[10] that played in the particular season two tiers higher.

[11] With the results of the 2019–20 season cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands, Emma remained in the Derde Klasse until summer 2021.
