Johannes ("Hans") Segers (born 30 October 1961) is a Dutch goalkeeper, who is famous for his playing career in England.

Segers was born in Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant. His early career was with home-town club PSV Eindhoven, before being signed for Nottingham Forest by Brian Clough during 1984. Although he played four seasons with Nottingham Forest, his final season included loan spells with Sheffield United, Stoke City and Dunfermline Athletic.

His career revived when he was signed as replacement for Dave Beasant by Wimbledon, and from 1988 until 1996 was first choice goalkeeper making 265 league appearances. In 1994 he was accused of involvement in match fixing, together with Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar, Wimbledon striker John Fashanu and a Malaysian businessman. The case was referred to Winchester Crown Court for a criminal trial in 1997 but all four defendants were cleared.^[1] In December 1997, Grobbelaar and Segers were found guilty by the Football Association of breaching betting regulations.^[2]

From 1996 to 1998, Segers was a goalkeeper for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Woking before ending his playing career at Tottenham Hotspur in 2001. He was goalkeeper-coach at Tottenham Hotspur until 26 October 2007 when he was asked to stand down with immediate effect following the sacking of Martin Jol.^[3]
