Ho ho ho, I've got you topped. I had no idea who he was as a football player, so I couldn't know him from Goonies, but a picture of him looked immediately familiar, and I was like.. isn't that the guy from Ice Pirates? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4f/75/11/4f7511045ff7c2dfbb2ca27495e8441e.jpg

Reply to comment by westbee in TIL about Willem Arondeus, a gay painter and artist. When the Nazis invaded the Netherlands he joined the dutch resistance. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews. He was caught and executed soon after his arrest. by Random_German_Name

To be caught here is to be arrested. And there’s two stretches of time, so to which does soon after apply to?
