In a 20-year professional career, he was mainly associated with Anderlecht and Club Brugge (especially the latter), scoring over 200 official goals for both clubs combined; he was known to have rather few technical skills, relying on a hard-working approach.〔(Euro 2000 profile ); BBC Sport〕 Verheyen represented Belgium in two World Cups and one European Championship. ==Club career== Born in Hoogstraten, Antwerp, Verheyen started playing professionally with Lierse SK, scoring 10 Belgian Second Division goals in his two season-spell, as he was not yet aged 18. In the 1988 summer he moved to R.S.C. Anderlecht, where he did not have a good scoring record, also appearing rarely in his first two years.〔('Big Gert' comes of age ); BBC Sport, 3 June 2002〕 In 1992 Verheyen signed with Club Brugge KV, where he would remain for the next 14 years, rarely missing a game and netting in double digits in ten of those campaigns, with the side collecting four leagues and two cups. In October 2000 he was expected to move to England with Ipswich Town,〔(Ipswich set to sign Verheyen ); BBC Sport, 3 October 2000〕 but the deal eventually fell through.〔(Ipswich ditch Verheyen deal ); BBC Sport, 5 October 2000〕 After more than 500 overall appearances for Brugge (with 195 goals), Verheyen retired on 5 May 2006,〔(Gert Verheyen quitte le Club Brugeois (Verheyen quits Club Brugge) ); Brugges official website 〕 becoming a reserve team trainer at the club in 2006–07 and quitting football subsequently at the season's end. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gert Verheyen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
