RSC Anderlecht: “A special player that the Park will never forget.”
Gille Van Binst has spent most of his career in a purple and white shirt. The Brussels club reacted to the death of the defender. “It is with great sadness that RSC Anderlecht learned of the death of Gilbert – Gille – Van Binst,” the press release begins.
“Gille played in purple and white from the age of fifteen. Made in Neerpede before the letter. The striker was reconverted into a defender and, in this role, he quickly became a permanent part of the great Sporting of the 1970s. For no less than 11 years, the Machelenois made himself known with his monkella laugh in the most beautiful country club.”
“Inflexible on the right side of defense, Gille played 262 matches with RSC Anderlecht. During this period, he won two titles, four Belgian Cups and two European Super Cups. He also played a key role in both European Cup Winners’ Cups. In 1976, he lifted the cup as captain after the legendary final against West Ham. In the 1978 European Cup II against Austria Wien, he shared the goals for the Purple and White with that other lamented legend. 4-0 Sportsman. Him and Robbie, two each.
“Gille was one of a kind. Defensive, but always forward-looking. Tongue wheel, sharp mind. A special player that the Park will never forget. The Violet & White wishes a lot of courage to his loved ones.
