Marc Gabriel Degryse (born 4 September 1965), nicknamed Le Lutin d'Ardooie ("The Lutin/Imp of Ardooie") and The Little One,[1] is a Belgian retired professional footballer who played as a forward.
In a 19-year professional career he played mainly for Club Brugge and Anderlecht (six seasons apiece), making his senior debuts at 17 and scoring nearly 200 official goals both clubs combined to win a total of ten major titles. He also competed briefly in England for Sheffield Wednesday.
A Belgium international for 12 years, Degryse represented the nation in two World Cups.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Born in Roeselare, West Flanders, Degryse played with equal success in the Belgian Pro League with giants Club Brugge and Anderlecht, moving to the latter in 1989 for a then-record €2.25 million[1] and proceeding to win five national championships combined, three in a row.
He moved for £1.5 million to Sheffield Wednesday in the 1995 summer,[2] but left after just one season as an important unit in helping the English club's eventual escape from relegation, after a 15th-place finish. During his time in South Yorkshire, he and teammate Orlando Trustfull had a cameo role in Sheffield-based film The Full Monty, but the scenes did not make the final cut.
In the following two campaigns Degryse played in the Netherlands with PSV Eindhoven, where he often struggled with injuries. He retired in 2002 at the age of nearly 37, after spells back in his country with K.A.A. Gent and Germinal Beerschot, having played 540 professional matches and scored 209 goals.
Degryse returned to Club Brugge as a technical director the following year,[3][4] before he eventually resigned due to bad results in late January 2007, alongside longtime former teammate, coach Franky Van der Elst.
International career
[edit | edit source]On the international level, Degryse played 63 matches with the Belgium national team and scored 23 goals. He was summoned for the squads at two FIFA World Cups: 1990 and 1994, netting twice in seven games.[5]
Degryse's debut came just one day after his 19th birthday, in a friendly with Argentina.
