2.Anthony Vandenborre:

VDB debuts in Anderlecht with just 16 years of age. He makes such a big impression that after 5 matches, he gets his call up for the Red Devils. 

He debuts in our national team at the age of 16 years, making him the second youngest player to debut in the history. 

In dark times for our Belgian football, he's together with Vincent Kompany the hope of our nation. 

What follows is a wasted career with plenty of teamswitches due too his mentality, VDB appears to be lazy.

In 2013 his youth team Anderlecht offers VDB a chance to make his comeback. After months of intensive training and playing in the B-team,

VDB makes his comeback in the first team. He seems to be completely back and makes a big impression all seacon. 

Such a big impression, that Wilmots decides to call him up for the WC2014 in Brasil.

VDB starts the third match against South-Korea and besides standing on the ball, something he did with Anderlecht a few times already:

he breaks his shin bone and his WC is over. 

After the WC, his career goes downhill again. 

He hits national media with this hilarious image when he stands behinds his coach Hasi:

Later on he declares he wasn't wearing his contact lenses and that's why he had that look on his face :D

In 2015, he declares openly in the national media that his coach and teamplayers are 'janetten', freely translated as 'wussies'. 

He immediately flies back to the B-squad and till today he remains there, because no other team wants to buy him. 

With coach Hasi being fired last month, Anderlecht decides to give hem yet another chance... 

To be continued :). 

 

 

 

 

As predicted, Anthony made sure this was continued. 

He got loaned out to French team Montpellier after the summer and started off great. 

However, an injury kept him months off the field and now, only 29 years of age, Anthony is retiring from professional football.

Can't resist but update this thread because Anthony just keeps on giving:

Two months after resigning, he now sings for Congolese topteam Tout Puissant Mazembe. 

After signing, he declares that he still available for the Belgian National team, with Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham) & Thomas Meunier (PSG) as biggest competitors on his position. 

Go Anthony!
