==Lucky Ajax== Lucky Ajax is a beneficiary team that was initiated by Sjaak Swart in the seventies, competing in at least one match a year, usually in the name of charity and/or to bid farewell to retiring former Ajax players. The team is made up of various members of the [[Club van 100 (AFC Ajax)|Club van 100]] of Ajax who will come out of retirement for this match to face the Ajax squad that is current of that year.<ref>[https://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-Nieuws/Ajax-nieuwsarchief/Ajax-nieuwsartikel/181839/Lucky-Ajax-speelt-altijd-om-de-eer.htm Lucky Ajax speelt altijd om de eer (Dutch)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202233257/https://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-Nieuws/Ajax-nieuwsarchief/Ajax-nieuwsartikel/181839/Lucky-Ajax-speelt-altijd-om-de-eer.htm |date=2 December 2013 }} Ajax.nl, 15 April 2012</ref> Past participants have included [[Barry Hulshoff]], [[Sonny Silooy]], [[Simon Tahamata]], [[Ronald Koeman]], [[Tscheu La Ling]], [[Gerrie Mühren]], [[John van 't Schip]], [[Brian Roy]], [[Stanley Menzo]], [[Peter van Vossen]] and [[Fred Grim]].<ref>[http://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-Nieuws/Ajax-nieuwsarchief/Ajax-nieuwsartikel/184835/Lucky-Ajax-wint-unieke-Oude-Klassieker.htm Lucky Ajax wint unieke 'Oude Klassieker' (Dutch)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202225055/http://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-Nieuws/Ajax-nieuwsarchief/Ajax-nieuwsartikel/184835/Lucky-Ajax-wint-unieke-Oude-Klassieker.htm |date=2 December 2013 }} Ajax.nl, 15 April 2012</ref> The name Lucky Ajax is derived from the famous "Lucky Ajax" nickname from how people used to refer to the club when Ajax would either win a match by chance, by a decision of a referee, or by coincidence such as was said to be the case during the infamous ''[[De Mistwedstrijd|Mistwedstrijd]]'' ("Fog Match").<ref>[https://archive.today/20131125042826/http://www.bequickzutphen.nl/columns-2/396-column-sjaak-swart-hoe-nu-verder Column: Sjaak Swart; hoe nu verder?
