The city of Roosendaal[edit]
Under King Louis Bonaparte of the Kingdom of Holland, Roosendaal received city rights in 1809.
Nispen merged with Roosendaal[when?] to form the municipality Roosendaal en Nispen. On 1 January 1997 the municipalities Roosendaal en Nispen and Wouw merged into the municipality now simply known as Roosendaal.
History[edit]
Roosendaal goes back to the 12th and 13th century. The name Rosendaele was first mentioned in a document of 1268. Roosendaal was always a part of North Brabant. In the Middle Ages, Roosendaal grew as a result of the turf business, but the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) put an end to the growth as Roosendaal and Wouw were suffering from itinerant combat troops that plundered and ravaged everything they came across. For decades the countryside of Roosendaal was abandoned.
Sports[edit]
The leading football team of Roosendaal is RBC.
Military[edit]
The Korps Commandotroepen have their headquarters and main garrison, the Engelbrecht van Nassaukazerne, in Roosendaal. The Royal Marechaussee used to have a brigade in the city. The first brigade was placed in the city on 16 July 1818 and was disbanded on 1 March 1943. On 2 September 1946 the brigade returned to the city, to be disbanded again on 1 September 1989. The Marechaussee would keep a small office on the railway station, due to the station being one of few to directly lead into Belgium.
Transport[edit]

Glenn Helder (born 28 October 1968) is a former Dutch footballer who played as a winger. Helder was a product of Ajax Amsterdam's youth system, of whom played for Arsenal together with clubs in Holland's top flight being Sparta Rotterdam, Vitesse Arnhem and NAC Breda as well.[1]
Playing career[edit]
Born in Leiden, Helder played for Sparta Rotterdam as well as Vitesse Arnhem of the Eredivisie before joining Arsenal on 14 February 1995, making his debut in a 1–0 home win against Nottingham Forest on 21 February. He was the final signing made by George Graham, who left a week after his arrival. Helder with Arsenal made 27 league appearances plus 12 as a substitute, with him scoring his solo goal for the club which came in a 3–2 win over Middlesbrough[2][1] In late 1996, just after the appointment of Arsène Wenger as manager, Arsenal sent him on loan to Benfica where he sustained a serious injury. Returning to the club, he found that he had been replaced by Marc Overmars in the summer of 1997 and was thus unable to break back into the first team.[1]

Helder then moved to NAC Breda in his native Netherlands and after a short spell there, he went to play in China for Dalian Wanda FC.[3] Soon afterwards he returned to Breda in a second spell at the club before moving on to MTK Hungária FC of Hungary. He then returned home to trial with FC Dordrecht, of which proved to be unfruitful. Helder eventually signed for RBC Roosendaal in 2000 and two years later moved on to that of TOP Oss where he brought an end to his playing career one year afterward.[1] In July 2006, Helder made a surprise appearance for Arsenal in Dennis Bergkamp's final ever game, a testimonial against Ajax.[1] Helder also appears regularly in Masters footballing tournaments and soccer clinics.[4][5]
International career[edit]

In his Dutch international footballing career, Helder earned four caps altogether for the Oranje.[6]
Personal life[edit]
In an interview in 1999 he stated that during his stay at NAC he tried to commit suicide because of problems resulting from compulsive gambling.[7] However, he continues to gamble, and is sometimes seen playing poker on the English Five television station, representing the Netherlands.[8]
Subsequent to his retirement from the game, Helder took up music and is currently an experienced and well known instrumentalist especially in the role of a percussionist.[9] He also became a stand up comedian.[10]
