Armand Jurion

"Jef" began to play at Ruisbroek, Flemish Brabant and earned an early interest by Brussels giants Union and Racing White, but he finally signed with Anderlecht. In November 1954, he played his debut game in the first team of Anderlecht against Olympic Charleroi (won 4–2) as a right winger. Jurion remained in the first team until he left for Gent in 1967, to work as a player-coach. His early breakthrough permitted him to play the first European game of Anderlecht, against Hungarian side Vörös Lobogó (currently MTK) in 1955. Jurion achieved international fame after a memorable goal against Real Madrid in 1962 (a 1–0 win) which qualified Anderlecht for the second round of the Champions Cup after the 3–3 draw at Bernabéu. After this goal, he received the nickname of "Mister Europe". He began his international career in 1955 against France. During his 64 appearances, he played at seven different positions and scored nine times. He is also remembered as one of very few notable football players, if not the only one, who constantly wore glasses during games. Jurion then successively coached KSC Lokeren, KSK Beveren and La Louvière.
