Biography

He was a defender for Union Saint-Gilloise in the 1930s. He was part of the Union 60, the name given to the team unbeaten in Division 1 for 60 matches between 9 January 1933 (Union-Lierse SK, 2-2) and 10 February 1935 (Daring Bruxelles-Union 2-0). He was also Champion of Belgium three times, consecutively.[1]

For the most of this legendary era, he was a Belgian international. He played four games for the Diables Rouges in 1934[2] including one game in the preliminary round of the Italy World Cup against Germany (lost, 5-2).[3]
