“Van Herpe was for more than 10 years one of the driving forces behind one of the best teams in the club’s history. He was a complete player with a vision of the game and his constant wing changes,” the club wrote on his site.
He then left to play under the colors of Racing de Bruxelles before wearing those of Racing White (current RWDM) and Stade Kortrijk (which disappeared to become the current KV Kortrijk).
Van Herpe was also a Red Devil seven times between 1956 and 1958 with a goal scored in Iceland during qualifying for the 1958 World Cup played in Sweden.
