Since 2001, he has been shooting photos for the club’s website and other communication channels. Just like his son, Christophe, with whom he formed an inseparable tandem, he was a collaborator highly respected by everyone at Neerpede. He has always worked as a volunteer for the club of his heart. Louis didn’t even charge his travel expenses. “A clubman like we hardly do anymore”, said David Steegen in his speech. For years, Louis was part of the small communication cell managed by Steegen, who no longer works for Anderlecht.

For 20 years, he was present at all A-team practices and matches, youth matches and ladies’ matches. He has thousands of photos in his collection. Since last year, it has been limited to young people and ladies. Almost the entire A team and the staff of RSCA Women were present at the funeral, as were members of the current communication unit, a scout and former club employees.
Even Vincent Kompany wanted to offer his condolences to the son of Louis, both via a message and by sending flowers on behalf of the family. In full preparation for Saturday’s match against Middlesbrough with Championship leaders Burnley, Kompany was obviously unable to attend the funeral.
