At this place, Arne Espeel has so often defended the goal for Winkel B. In the match last Saturday, Arne first stopped a penalty kick, then suddenly collapsed. He is rushed to hospital. But there is no help anymore.

Many memories are brought back, testimonials from family and friends, who carry Arne in their hearts, because that’s how they know him, a jovial, cheerful, intelligent guy. Welcomed by all who came into contact with him.

Last week, an impressive tribute was held on the field of Sint-Eloois-Winkel.
