DoorSlammer 561 Posted May 18 He's 70 today, but Belgian football icon Eric Gerets (wiki) reveals he has been progressively declining since two years because he developed brain calcification due to a brain aneurysm he had twelve years ago. It gets more and more difficult to talk and he loses his balance often while walking. The article doesn't mention it, but it sounds like Fahr's syndrome. As a player he was captain of PSV when they won the European Cup, being the only Belgian to have won the European Cup as a player, and he was a starter in the Belgian NT that had two very good runs in the international competitions in the 1980's. As a manager he's best known for being one of only six managers to have won the league in at least four different countries. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
