With a goal against KRC Genk knew Hans Vanaken his goal total at Club Brugge to thicken again. The midfielder is now on his way to become a real Blue-Black icon and has already made himself in the history books.
Vanaken’s goal was already the 73rd goal in the Jupiler Pro League for the midfielder. This also puts him in a list of some greats of Blauw-Zwart. Vanaken is the fifth best shooter ever in the Belgian league for Club Brugge since the introduction of professional football, according to Jarno Bertho.
For Vanaken, fourth place is certainly achievable. Lorenzo Staelens is currently standing there, who scored 75 times for Club Brugge in the Belgian league. Above that we also see Marc Degryse (95), Gert Verheyen (155) and record holder Jan Ceulemans (191).
As a result, Vanaken continues to work hard on his statistics. He has already scored eight goals and two assists in 21 games this season. In total, the two-time Golden Shoe has already managed to score 94 times for Blauw-Zwart after 310 matches. He was also good for 63 assists.
