Wanny van Gils (February 10, 1959 – July 28, 2018) was a Dutch football player and coach.

Club career

He was under contract with NAC Breda, Beringen and Willem II. His wonderful solo-goal against Eindhoven in 1991 was long time dubbed as "the lost goal" since there seemed to be no footage of it.

Personal life

After football, he became an insurance consultant and began his own business in financial services. He also managed VV TSC, a Dutch football club.
