Description
Armand Joseph Jurion, nicknamed Jef, was a Belgian football player who played with the Belgium national team from 1955 to 1967. Jurion spent most of his club career at R.S.C. Anderlecht where he won 8 championship titles and one Cup and was awarded 2 Golden Shoe. He played in the match Belgium-Netherlands in 1964 with 10 fellows from the Anderlecht team after the substitution of goalkeeper Delhasse by Jean Trappeniers.
"Jef" began to play at Ruisbroek and earned an early interest by Brussels giants Union and Racing White, but he finally signed with Anderlecht. In November 1954, he played his debut game in the first team of Anderlecht against Olympic Charleroi as a right winger. Jurion remained in the first team until he left for Gent in 1967, to work as a player/coach. His early breakthrough permitted him to play the first European game of Anderlecht, against Hungarian side V�r�s Lobog� in 1955.
Jurion achieved international fame after a memorable goal against Real Madrid in 1962 which qualified Anderlecht for the second round of the Champions Cup after the 3-3 draw at Bernabeu. After this goal, he received the nickname of "Mister Europe".
