A while back Blauw-Zwart announced its own Monopoly edition for its 130th anniversary. Each fan was given the opportunity to select their favorite top 5 from more than 75 (ex-)Club players. Voting was massive, although it was extremely difficult to choose.
Club gives the 11 most chosen players a place on the board anyway.
- There were no less than 2538 votes for François Sterchele
- 2153 times for Jan Ceulemans
- 1757 for Timmy Simons
- 1689 times for Ruud Vormer
- 1494 times for Raoul Lambert
- 1477 for Gert Verheyen
- 1272 on Hans Vanaken
- 1135 to Franky Van der Elst
- 996 to Clinton Mata
- 939 on PhilippeClement
- 876 on Simon Mignolet
There is also room for 11 additional names picked out by the jury based on various criteria (Golden Shoe, number of matches, number of goals, number of titles, ...). These players are also part of the edition:
- Fons Bastijns
- Vital Borkelmans
- Charles Cambier
- Julien Cools
- Hector Goetinck
- Birger Jensen
- Jean-Pierre Papin
- Mario Stanic
- Johny Thio
- Dany Verlinden
- Brandon Mechele
That's not all. The game board of course contains not only player names. Also places like Het Rattenplein, Albert Dyserinckstadion (De Klokke), Jan Breydelstadion & the Basecamp are made available for purchase.
In short: Monopoly Club Brugge is the way to relive the very best moments of Blauw-Zwart. Not preordered a copy yet? Don't hesitate!
