Former Red Devil André Van Herpe has died at the age of 90. This was announced by AA Gent, the club where the midfielder was a strong player for a decade.

Van Herpe collected seven caps for the national team in the 1950s and scored once, during a World Cup qualifier in Iceland.

From 1952 to 1962, the midfielder played in the Ghent first team, becoming vice-champion in 1955 and finishing third three times. “Van Herpe was one of the driving forces in one of the strongest teams in club history for more than 10 years,” says Gent. “He was a complete player who saw 'it' and who caused constant wing changes with his passing.”

After leaving Ghent, Van Herpe played football for several years at Racing Club Brussels, Royal Racing White and Stade Kortrijk. In total, Van Herpe played 243 matches in the first division and scored 33 goals.
