Gert Verheyen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the Belgian cyclist, see: Geert Verheyen.
Gert Verheyen, (born September 20, 1970), is a Belgian football player who, as of 2005, was playing for Club Brugge. He used to play for R.S.C. Anderlecht. Verheyen was part of the Belgium national team for the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.
The player is known to have rather few technical skills but he is often cited as a hard-worker. His career with Belgium was dulled when he was sent off at 2-0 for Belgium against Mexico in 1998. His fault caused a penalty and the match ended with a draw (2-2). In spite of this event he kept his place in the basis team until he retired after the 2002 World Cup.
He retired on May 5, 2006 and has since become a reserve team trainer at Club Brugge.
