Yves Vanderhaeghe

Date of birth30 January 1970
Place of birthRoeselare
NationalityBelgian
Weight79 kg
Height1.79 m
PositionMidfielder

Vanderhaeghe was handed his international debut relatively late into his career when he was selected to play against Peru. The tireless midfielder has since gone on to be a regular in Belgium coach Robert Waseige's squads. The former Eendracht Aalst player became captain of Excelsior before earning his move to Anderlecht in the 2000 close season. When he plays for the Red Devils, he is usually employed in the midfield holding role. Probably more than any other player, Vanderhaeghe will cherish any involvement in the 2002 World Cup finals. As a teenager, he was seriously ill with a suspected brain tumour and given very little chance of surviving.
