'''Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht''', usually known as '''Anderlecht''', is a
Belgium Belgian Football team football club from the
Brussels Capital Region. It is the most successful Belgian football team on the European level (with 5 titles) as well as in the
Jupiler League (27 titles). Although it was founded in
1908, it won its first trophy after
World War II (in
1947). Since then, it finished every year in the Jupiler League top 5 except in
1952 and
1973 when they ended in 6th place. It plays in the Jupiler League since
1935-
1936 36.
History
The first years (1908--1935)
Founded as Sporting Club Anderlechtois in 1908 by some football fans at the ''Concordia'' café (''rue d'Aumale'' in
Anderlecht, a municipality of Brussels), the club beat Institut Saint-Georges on its first match (11-8). As they were winning most of their matches, the secretary decided to join the official competition in
1909. They began at the regional level and at the end of the season, they had already qualified to play in the higher division. In
1913, they reached the national level, ascending to the
Belgian Second Division second division (called ''promotion'' at the time). They ended the season at the fourth place (behind Uccle Sport, R.C. Mechelen and K.V. Mechelen).
Because of the
World War I, the championship was stopped until 1919. However, with the popularity of the team increasing, it was decided that Anderlecht would play at the
Parc Astrid (known as ''Parc du Meir'' at that time) in a new stadium they baptized ''Stade Emile Versé'' in
1917. In
1919-
1920 20, it finished 3rd this time but failed to qualify for the top division. Nonetheless, at the end of that season, the
Belgian Football Association decided to let two more club play the first division which meant that the three top clubs in the second division would be promoted. Three teams finished with 22 points behind Tilleur and
Standard Liège (two teams from
Liège (city) Liège): Anderlecht, T.S.V. Lyra and
R.F.C. Liégeois F.C. Liégeois. A test-match was organized and finally won by the Brussels team. On
April 16,
1921, the fans had a short sleep.
The first season at the top level was tough as the club reached the 12th place with one point more than the best relegated team. With only 15 points in 26 matches (a win earned two points at the time) at the end of the
1922-
1923 23 season, it was not enough to stay in first division. They managed to win the second division right after that and finished 9th in first division in
1925. But again, in
1926, they were relegated. In total, they were relegated four times in ten years to the second division (1923, 1926,
1928 and
1931), receiving the nickname of ''lift club'' by rivals
R. Union Saint-Gilloise Union Saint-Gilloise and
Daring de Bruxelles. Their best ranking was obtained in
1930 when they reached the 5th place in first division. The club changed its name to Royal Sporting Club Anderlechtois in
1933 after 25 years of existence. In
1935, they won one of the two leagues of the second division (the other one was won by
Club Brugge) and promoted to first division again, for the last time in their history.
The first titles (1935--1968)

Anderlecht reached the 5th place again in
1939. The championship was then suspended due to
World War II for two years.
Joseph Mermans Jef Mermans, a
striker from
K. Tubantia Borgerhout V.K. K. Tubantia F.C. was transferred in
1942 for a fee of 125,000
franc Belgian francs, a record in Belgium at that time. The first title was won in
1947 after they finished 2nd in
1944 and 3rd in
1946 (the championship was not finished in
1945). The success grew in the following years as they won 6 more titles between
1949 and
1956 (twice three in a row) and 2 more in
1959 and
1962. In the
1960s, under the coaching of
Pierre Sinibaldi, the club even won 5 titles in a row (from
1964 until
1968), which is still the record in Belgian football. The leader of the team was then
Paul Van Himst (topscorer in
1965,
1967 and
1969 and
Belgian Golden Shoe in
1960,
1961,
1965 and
1974). On
September 30,
1964, the
Belgium national football team played against the
Netherlands national football team Netherlands with 11 players from Anderlecht on the ground after the substitution of
R.F.C. de Liège F.C. Liégeois goalkeeper Delhasse by
Jean Trappeniers. The 10 other players were:
Georges Heylens Heylens,
Laurent Verbiest Verbiest,
Jean Plaskie Plaskie,
Jean Cornelis Cornelis,
Pierre Hanon Hanon,
Joseph Jurion Jurion,
Jacky Stockman Stockman,
Johan Devrindt Devrindt,
Paul Van Himst Van Himst and
Wilfried Puis Puis. Since the arrival of Sinibaldi, the team was playing with a "
Brazil Brazilian" 4-2-4 tactics, leaving the WM tactics (defense in W and attack in M, i.e. a kind of 2-3-3-2) of former coach, the
England Englishman Bill Gormlie. After three titles won (in a row), Sinibaldi left the club and was replaced by
Hungary Hungarian Andreas Beres who won the next two titles.

Anderlecht played in
1955 in the first
UEFA Champions League Champions' Cup, and lost its two matches against
MTK Budapest. A year later, it was eliminated after the preliminary round against
Manchester United F.C. Manchester United (12-0 on aggregate). In
1959, for their next European competition, they lost their two matches again, this time to
Rangers F.C. Rangers. Anderlecht then had to wait until the
1962-
1963 63 season to play in Europe. And it won its first European match (1-0, goal by Joseph Jurion) on the second leg against
Real Madrid after a 3-3 draw in
Spain. For the first time it advanced to the second round, where it beat
CSKA Sofia before losing to
Dundee F.C. Dundee in the quarter-finals.
In
1964, after a 1-0 win at home, Anderlecht lost 2-1 at
Bologna FC, and both teams had to play a third match (in
Barcelona) that finished on a 0-0 draw. Anderlecht finally qualified on a coin toss. In the second round, it lost against
Liverpool F.C. Liverpool. The year after, it reached the quarter-finals again to meet
Real Madrid. But an obvious bribe of the referee in the second leg helped the Spanish to progress in the cup after a 4-3 victory on aggregate (the Belgian had won the first match 1-0). In
1966 and
1967, it lost in the second round against a
Czech Republic Czech team (first
FK Marila PrÃbram, then
AC Sparta Praha).

The next domestic title was won in
1972 on the last matchday. Indeed, the other team from Brussels, namely
Racing White, managed to keep the draw against leader Club Brugge that finished 2nd with the same number of points than Anderlecht. The same year,
Rob Rensenbrink was transferred from Club Brugge. In
1973, the club from Brugge won the championship at the Parc Astrid, a nice revenge (they had finished 2nd the last 5 seasons), while ''Les Mauve et Blanc'' ended at the 6th rank, a poor performance (the worst since
1952). This was the beginning of a long rivalry between the two teams. A year later, Anderlecht finished on top once again with a team comprising players like Robbie Rensenbrink,
Ludo Coeck, Paul Van Himst and
Attila Ladynski. Between
1975 and
1984, Anderlecht only won one championship but they achieved European success (see below). Their worst ranking obtained during this period was a 5th place in
1980. In the winter of
1980-
1981 81,
Juan Lozano was added to the team, as were
Morten Olsen,
Luka Peruzovic and
Tomislav Ivic (coach) during the summer of 1980. The 17th title was won at the end of the season. The season
1982-
1983 83 was an important one: the stadium was planned to be rebuilt, the former leader of the team, Paul Van Himst, was chosen as the new coach, and a new European title was won. But in the domestic league, Anderlecht reached the 2nd place behind
K.S.K. Beveren Beveren.

Anderlecht reached its first European final in
1970 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which became the
UEFA Cup two years later. That year, it was decided that, in case of a draw after two matches, the team that had scored the most goals away was qualified. That rule permitted Anderlecht to beat
Dunfermline Athletic F.C. Dunfermline and
Newcastle United F.C. Newcastle United respectively at the second and third stage of the competition (they beated
Valur Valur Reykjavik during the first round). In the semifinals, the team from Brussels beat
Internazionale Milano F.C. Internazionale, but they lost 3-0 at Highbury in the final, after they had won the first leg 3-1 against
Arsenal F.C. Arsenal.
Six years later, Anderlecht qualified for the
Cup Winners' Cup, and it won. It eliminated easily
Rapid BucureÅŸti, then
Banja Luka (from
Yugoslavia). The third round was more difficult against
Wales Welsh cup winner
Wrexham A.F.C. (though it was playing in the third English division). They beated
Zwickau (from
East Germany) in the semifinals. It had been decided earlier that the final had to be played at the
King Baudouin Stadium Heysel in
Brussels. This was thus a good opportunity for the Brussels team to win its first European title, and it did as it won 4-2 against the English side
West Ham United F.C. West Ham United. Robbie Rensenbrink and
François Van Der Elst scored twice each, while Ludo Coeck, one of the key players of the team, was injured.
Anderlecht also won the
European Supercup that year against
Bayern München (4-1 at home after a 2-1 defeat at the
Olympic Stadium, Munich Olympiastadion).
The next year, the club lost in final against
Hamburger SV (2-0) in the same competition. It took its revenge a season later at the second round of the Cup Winners' Cup against the German side, then eliminated
FC Porto and
FC Twente to reach the final for the third time in a row. And they won the cup again with a 4-0 victory against the
Austria Wien (with goals by Rob Rensenbrink and
Gilbert Van Binst). Again, the team won the Supercup, this time against
Liverpool F.C. Liverpool.
The day before the journey to
KuPS Kuopion Pallotoverit for the UEFA Cup first round in
1982, Paul Van Himst replaced the coach Tomislav Ivic. Anderlecht easily won (6-1 on aggregate) as they did against FC Porto (6-3) in the second round and against Sarajevo (6-2). Two wins against
Valencia CF allowed the club to play
Bohemians Praha in the semifinals (win 4-1 on aggregate). For their first final since the UEFA Cup replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, Anderlecht beated
SL Benfica to win their fifth European trophy in 7 years. The key players of the team were then
Franky Vercauteren and Juan Lozano.
In
1984, Anderlecht reached the final of the UEFA Cup again but it was more difficult. In the round of 16, it was leading 0-1 at
RC Lens with a goal by
Erwin Vandenbergh but a stone on the ground changed the direction of an easy ball for the goalkeeper
Jacky Munaron and the
France Frenchmen equalized. At home, Anderlecht secured a 1-0 win. After they beated
FC Spartak Moscow Spartak Moskva in quarter-finals, they lost with 2-0 at
Nottingham Forest F.C. Nottingham Forest. Then, the president at the time (
Constant Vanden Stock) bribed the referee of the second leg to insure a place in the final game. The Purple and White won by 3-0. In the final,
Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Tottenham Hotspur won after penalty shootout. The scandal of the semifinal was discovered in the Belgian newspapers in
September 1997. The
UEFA decided to ban Anderlecht from the European competitions for one year (
1998-
1999 99). But a decision by the
Court of Arbitration for Sport TAS (the Court of Sports Arbitration, a sports tribunal set up by the International Olympic Committee) overturned the ban.

After three years ended at the second place, the Purple and White secured an easy 18th title in
1985, 11 points ahead of Club Brugge. The club scored 100 goals in the 34 matches scheduled that season. It was the first title under the coaching of Paul Van Himst who was fired in the middle of the following season, replaced by
Arie Haan. The team comprised then players like Jacky Munaron, Franky Vercauteren, Morten Olsen, Luka Peruzovic, Erwin Vandenbergh,
Alexandre Czerniatynski,
Enzo Scifo and
Georges Grün. In
1986, Anderlecht won the championship again, but this time after a two-legged playoff game against Club Brugge. The Flemish had forced the draw 1-1 in Anderlecht, and lead 2-0 at home after thirty minutes. But the Sporting managed to score twice.
Anderlecht won its 20th championship on the last matchday of the 1986-
1987 87 season. It easily beat
K. Berchem Sport Berchem Sport (that was already relegated) while co-leaders
Y.R. K.V. Mechelen KV Mechelen lost to Club Brugge who needed a win to qualify for the UEFA Cup. Franky Vercauteren and Enzo Scifo were transferred in the summer and Juan Lozano had been heavily injured in a game at
S.V. Zulte-Waregem KSV Waregem a few months earlier. The weakened team headed by
Raymond Goethals finished only 4th in
1988 behind Club Brugge, Mechelen and Antwerp. But it managed to lift the Belgian Cup for the 6th time in history, after a 2-0 victory against Standard (goals by
Luc Nilis and
Edi Krncevic). The next year, Anderlecht retained the trophy with goals by Krncevic and Jankovic (2-0 to Standard again), but finished second in the championship. After the second cup win, Raymond Goethals left for
Girondins de Bordeaux.
At the end of the
1992-
1993 93 season, R.S.C. Anderlechtois merged with the women team Brussels Dames '71 to become R.S.C. Anderlecht.

In
2000-
2001 01, Anderlecht beat FC Porto to progress in the first group stage. It finished first of its group leaving the second place to Manchester United, though it lost its first group match 5-1 at
Old Trafford (football) Old Trafford and its third one 4-0 at
Dynamo Kyiv. In the second group stage, it finished third behind Real Madrid and
Leeds United F.C. Leeds United, securing a 2-0 victory on its last match (against the Spanish).
Colours and badge
Anderlecht colours are purple and white, though the home kit is black and purple since the 2005-06 season. Prior to this, the home kit was generally white with a bit of purple. In the beginning, purple was the main colour of the shirts.
The motto of Anderlecht (''Mens sana in corpore sano'') is written on its badge as are the three letters SCA referring to the initial name of the club (Sporting Club Anderlechtois). A crown was added in
1933 following the name change to Royale Sporting Club Anderlechtois.
Stadium
:''Main article:
Constant Vanden Stock Stadium''
R.S.C. Anderlecht plays its home matches at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium located within the
Parc Astrid Astrid park in the municipality of Anderlecht. The board of directors is currently considering a move to a bigger stadium that would not necessarily lie in Anderlecht.
Anderlecht has been playing in the Astrid park since the building of the Emile Versé Stadium in
1917. It was completely renewed in
1983 and it took the name of the then chairman
Constant Vanden Stock.
Supporters
Anderlecht fans are generally considered as the most demanding in Belgian football. The club has had the highest average attendance in Jupiler League for ten years except in 2002-03 (beaten by Genk) and 2004-05 (beaten by Brugge). The supporters hail from the whole country and only a minority come from the Brussels Capital Region. Anderlecht counts 76 fan clubs three of which abroad (one in France, one in
Poland and one in Texas (USA)) and 20 of which in the province of
East Flanders.
