Anyway, I wanted to leave Feyenoord. My teammate Peter Ressel came to me; he’d already played for Lierse in Belgium. Ressel introduced me to a player agent. I didn’t even know the profession existed! I’d never done any career planning. I was a Feyenoord supporter, and I didn’t think much of anything else. Bekeffy said: “If you want, you can go to Anderlecht, but first you have to play a test match in Poland.
” Test match? I didn’t fancy that at all! Okay, said Bekeffy, “you can also sign straight away for RWDM, another club in Brussels, with a very ambitious chairman.” Fine, then let’s do it, I said, it’s that simple. You see how things can change; I could just as easily have ended up at Anderlecht. I traveled to Molenbeek and signed a three-year contract!
