'''David "Dave" Bus''' (b. [[May 19]] [[1978]] in [[Lichtenvoorde]]) is a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] professional [[football (soccer)|football]] [[Defender (football)|defender]] who is currently with [[De Graafschap]].
Bus came in to professional football relatively late, starting his career at [[De Graafschap]] in 2004 at the age of 25 after a few stints at ameteuramateur clubs in his hometown, [[Lichtenvoorde]]. He became a fans'fan favourite during his first season at [[De Graafschap]]. He played 29 games during the 2004/05 season, helping his side be promoted to the [[Eredivisie]] (Dutch Premier Division). The next season he played more games and performed better but his efforts were not enough to stop [[De Graafschap]] being relegated back to the [[Eerste Divisie]] ([[Holland]]'s second highest league). He only played 15 games in the [[Eerste Divisie]] during the 2006/07 season after the arrival of [[Cerezo Fung a Wing]]. [[De Graafschap]] were once again promoted to the [[Eredivisie]] in the 2007/08 season and opted to play a 3-man defence and with captain [[René Bot]], [[Cerezo Fung a Wing]] and [[Stephan Keller]] the usual starters, Bus was left out in the cold.
In January 2008 [[Aberdeen F.C.]] signed Bus on a six month loan deal with first option to buy if he impresses. He has joined fellow Dutchmen [[Jeffrey de Visscher]] and [[Karim Touzani]] at [[Pittodrie Stadium|Pittodrie]]. Since joining [[Aberdeen]] Bus has made limited appearances and even scored an own goal against [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.|Inverness CT]]. On [[15 April]] [[2008]], he was told he would not be offered a deal to stay at Aberdeen and would be free to return to the Netherlands.
