Career
Budding started his career in his town of birth, Renkum where he played for CHRC Renkum, before he joined his first Eredivisie side Football Club Wageningen in 1975. Football Club Wageningen was underperforming that season and Budding was hardly used. The club relegated to the Eerste Divisie at the end of the season.
Once there Budding became a key factor in the team soon and played in most of their matches and also managed to score some goals.
Dutch giants Feyenoord Rotterdam showed their interest and signed the player in March 1977. In 1982 Budding left Feyenoord to return at his first professional team Football Club Wageningen, followed by two seasons at Vitesse Arnhem.
After switching back to Football Club Wageningen one more time he also returned to Vitesse for the final seasons of his career. At the age of 33 he did no longer pass the fitness test and was told to retire from professional football.
Budding played his last match on 13 December 1989 against Willem II Tilburg.
