Florian Vijent (28 November 1961 – 7 June 1989), was a Dutch football goalkeeper. During his career he played for Telstar. He died at the age of 27, when on 7 June 1989, he was killed in the Surinam Airways Flight PY764 air crash in Paramaribo. He is not related to Ed Vijent. Vijent's large build was one of the reasons he became a goalkeeper. At the end of the 1988-89 season he was named as "Best goalkeeper of the season" in the Eerste Divisie. Vijent resembled AFC Ajax goalkeeper and close friend Stanley Menzo, who often borrowed Vijent's drivers license.

Florian Vijent (28 November 1961 – 7 June 1989), was a Dutch football goalkeeper. During his career he played for Telstar. He died at the age of 27, when on 7 June 1989, he was killed in the Surinam Airways Flight PY764 air crash in Paramaribo. He is not related to Ed Vijent. Vijent's large build was one of the reasons he became a goalkeeper. At the end of the 1988-89 season he was named as "Best goalkeeper of the season" in the Eerste Divisie. Vijent resembled AFC Ajax goalkeeper and close friend Stanley Menzo, who often borrowed Vijent's drivers license. Together with Menzo and teammate Radjin de Haan he was invited by Sonny Hasnoe, the founder of the Colourful 11, to be part of the team and travel to Suriname to play in the "Boxel Kleurrijk Tournament" against three Surinamese teams. Although Menzo was instructed to not participate in the tournament by Ajax, he defied his club, booking an earlier flight to Suriname. On 7 June 1989, Surinam Airways Flight PY764 crashed during approach to Paramaribo-Zanderij International Airport, killing 176 of the 187 passengers on board, including Vijent, making it the worst ever aviation disaster in Suriname's history. Of the 18-member Colourful 11 team, only De Haan and two other team members survived the accident. Vijent's younger brother Patrick was facing psychological problems even before Florian's death. His problems, however, merely worsened after Florian's death and only a few days after the accident he committed suicide by throwing himself in front of an oncoming train.

Florian Gerrit Vijent (Amsterdam, 28 november 1961 – Zanderij, 7 juni 1989) was een Nederlands-Surinaamse voetballer. Hij was van 1987 tot het moment van zijn overlijden doelverdediger bij Telstar. Eerder speelde hij voor de amateurverenigingen Blauw-Wit en RCH en de Belgische tweedeklasser Berchem Sport. Vijent was groot van postuur en werd mede hierom keeper. Hij was in het seizoen 1988/89 uitgeroepen tot de beste keeper van de Eerste divisie. Kort na afloop van het seizoen werd hij samen met teamgenoot Radjin de Haan geselecteerd voor het Kleurrijk Elftal, dat enkele wedstrijden zou spelen in Suriname. Vijent kwam net als de meeste leden van het elftal om toen het vliegtuig kort voor de landing in de buurt van het dorpje Zanderij neerstortte. De Haan overleefde de ramp.
