In Belgium, Belgian national player Francois Sterchele has died in a car crash. He was only 26 years old and was one of the most famous national players of Club Brugge. He was a Belgian with Italian greatparents. He was also a fan of AC Milan and made the same handwave like Luca Toni after he scored a goal.

it's the goodbye to Sterchele before the game Bruges - Westerlo.
BEVEREN - Club Brugge striker François Sterchele has been killed in a car crash. The 26-year-old careered off the road in his Porsche in Beveren in East Flanders on early Thursday morning.
The accident happened at 3 in the morning. The Club Brugge player was dead at the scene.
The crash occurred on the Antwerp Knokke express road. Sterchele lost control of the wheel and hit a tree. He was travelling alone at the time.
Traffic experts say the first indications suggest that the soccer player was speeding in his Porsche. He suddenly veered to the right and drove into a ditch by the side of the road.
His sports car was then catapulted onto a tree. No other vehicle was involved in the accident.
François Sterchele was completing his first season at Club Brugge. Earlier, he played for Charleroi and Germinal Beerschot.
Sterchele was 2007's top scorer in the Belgian First Division.
He played for Belgium on four occasions.
Saturday, Jan Breydel stadium in Bruges, former mates of Francois Sterchele (the striker died Wednesday night at 26 years, in a terrible accident) have taken goodbye from their friend. Wearing all the shirts number 23, the number of Sterchele from FC Bruges in the 2007-2008 season, the players were close to the centre ground, around the portrait of Francois, blubbering. In the galleries, thousands of fans of the flamande team sang “You’ll never walk alone”. For Sterchele, supporters have written on a pancarta: “He was born a star, who now shines the blue-black sky.” Watch the appealing film!
