Henri ("Harry") Léonard Barthélémi Dénis (28 August 1896 – 13 July 1971) was a footballdefender from the Netherlands, who represented his home country at three consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1920.[1][2]
At his Olympic debut in Antwerp, Belgium he won the bronze medal with the Netherlands national football team, followed by a fourth place four years later in Paris, France. Dénis obtained a total number of 56 caps for the Netherlands, in which he was captain in 37 matches.[4] He was one of the most prominent Dutch footballers in the 1920s. Dénis delivered the Olympic Oath during the opening ceremony of the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.[5]
Dénis held the Dutch caps record from 3 May 1925 (when he equaled the total of Bok de Korver) until 2 May 1937 (when his total was surpassed by Puck van Heel).[6]
