Johannes Gerrit "Johan" Derksen (born 31 January 1949) is a Dutch sports journalist and former football player. He played professional football between 1966 and 1978 for five clubs: Go Ahead Eagles, Cambuur Leeuwarden, BV Veendam, HFC Haarlem and MVV Maastricht. During and after his active career he became well known as a sports journalist, specialising in football. He was the editor-in-chief of Voetbal International from 2000 until his retirement at 1 August 2013, the country's most prominent football magazine. He is also a television football pundit on RTL7's Voetbal International.
Derksen was born in Heteren, Gelderland into a right wing Protestant Christian family. He describes his father as a very strict policeman, both professionally and at home. Ever since he was a child he wanted to become a drummer. Derksen, who was an only child, stated his father wanted him to become a footballer instead of choosing the uncertain life of a musician. He played for the local team SDOO Heteren at the time. His family moved to Drenthe when he was a teenager. There he played for amateur football clubs Nieuw-Buinen and Rolder Boys before moving to Deventer to join the youth academy of Go Ahead Eagles.
