“No more treatments are possible …” The news that Miguel Van Damme had again been diagnosed with leukemia hit the Belgian football world like a bomb. On Wednesday evening, the goalkeeper organized a farewell match between ex-teammates of Cercle and SK Maldegem.
Van Damme kicked off the Bruges derby on Sunday, a particularly catchy moment. Wednesday evening also for those present. Friends, family and ex-teammates played a farewell match in Jan Breydel. The two teams put on shirts from Cercle and SK Maldegem, the team where he got his youth training.
Ex-footballers such as Maarten Martens and Hans Cornelis were known among those present.
