CNNSI.com - 2002 World Cup - World Cup Hall of Fame: Jan Ceulemans - Wednesday May 08, 2002 10:50 PM (247 words)
Jan Ceulemans was the outstanding member of a Belgian side good enough to finish second at the 1980 European Championship and reach the semifinals in Mexico in 1986.
Ceulemans scored vital goals in a thrilling 4-3 win over the Soviet Union in the second round and in the quarterfinals, where Belgium beat Spain on penalties after a 1-1 draw, before Maradona single-handedly ended the Red Devils' unlikely run.
Ceulemans played 96 times for his country and consolidated his status as a national hero by turning down AC Milan to spend 13 years with Club Bruges.
