Attack
Right Winger
Years before Edgar Davids experimented with the look, Jef Jurion was famous as the footballer who wore glasses while playing. Due to his slender physique, Jurion preferred playing in wide positions to avoid excessive physicality.
Despite not being the fastest, Jurion's ball control and dribbling skills made him a tough customer to handle. At Anderlecht, he formed a terrific partnership with striker Mermans, winning eight Belgian league titles in his career.
Jurion gained worldwide recognition when he scored against a star-studded Real Madrid side to carry Anderlecht past them in European Cup 1962. He also holds the honour of being the first Belgian player to be nominated for Ballon d'Or.
Honourable Mention: Leon Semmeling
Striker
Paul Van Himst is widely regarded as the greatest Belgian footballer to grace the field. His exceptional technical abilities and prolific goal-scoring made him one of the most iconic players in world football during the 60's.
Van Himst had a legendary career at Anderlecht, a side with which he won eight Belgian league titles and a record four Belgian Golden Shoe awards. He is Belgium national team's all time top goal scorer with 30 goals, representing them in numerous tournaments including Euro 1972, where they finished third.
During UEFA Jubilee Awards in 2003, the Belgian Football Association announced Van Himst as their Golden Player, the most outstanding footballer their country had had in the past 50 years.
Honourable Mention: Raymond Braine
Left Winger
Moving on from the greatest Belgian footballer ever to the one who has the potential to overtake him. Eden Hazard is undoubtedly the most gifted Belgian footballer of all time. His speed, creativity, and dribbling skills have made him a lethal weapon that can cause havoc in the opposition's defence.
After making early progress in Lille, Hazard joined Chelsea where he developed into a household name. As a key member of Belgium's national side, Hazard was influential in helping Belgium qualify for FIFA World Cup 2014 after a gap of 12 years, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals.
They also reached the quarter-finals in Euro 2016. Since 1920 Olympics, Belgians haven't won any major international silverware. But with Belgium's new golden generation on rising, Eden Hazard and his men have the unique opportunity
Honourable Mention: Franky Vercauteren
