He was signed by
Montrose in 1990 and helped the club to promotion to the
Scottish First Division in his
first season. The club were relegated the
following season but after impressing in the final game of the season against promoted club
Dundee, Den Bieman was signed by the Premier Division newcomers in the summer of 1992. He remained at
Dens Park for just one season before moving back to the First Division with
Dunfermline Athletic. Whilst at Dunfermline, he formed a partnership with
Hamish French, many calling them 'Fish & Chips' because you couldn't think of one without the other. Initially signed as a right-winger, Den Bieman found himself playing a variety of positions including full-back and centre-half. With his versatility and famed long throw's he soon gained cult status with the Pars support and was voted runner up in a recent poll of Dunfermline's all time cult heroes. Den Bieman remained at Dunfermline for five years, helping them to promotion in
1995-96. He was released in 1998 and had spells with
Ross County and
Falkirk before retiring in 2000. After returning to the Netherlands he continued to play in the Dutch amateur leagues for
Bennekom whilst working in security. ==Later years==
