KVK supporters have previously announced that they will not attend Tuesday’s match in Charleroi. The reason was the start time. But one man did not agree: Jürgen Vanbrabant (45 years old). He was the only one who encouraged his team in Charleroi.

He had heard of the boycott of the KVK supporters’ clubs, Jürgen. But really, the Kortrijk native did what he felt like. “I live in Ghent,” he says. “Baiting a Charleroi is not difficult for me. I am not a herd animal. I wanted to watch the game and I just did it. Am I a fanatic? A fanatical supporter, that is.”
In everyday life, the former Kortrijkzaan is a talented plastic artist. Going through life like Brant (be). “You can call football an outlet. I usually go alone. I don’t mind, because I make friends or know people right away. I also travel to Kortrijk on my own, but I immediately meet people I know there.”

Jurgen did not think the match itself was great at first: “The first half was rather boring. The KV Kortrijk players did their best in the second half. Me too, because I hardly have a voice now.”
Jürgen immediately returned to Gent after the match. But not before he disguises himself in his fans’ red shirt. “I wore a black long-sleeved shirt. It seemed better to me.”
