Wrestling Heritage welcomes memories, further information and corrections.
The Belgian mid heavyweight made his first visit to Britain in September, 1968 but was set to return again the following year and during the 1970s. An accomplished amateur he finished 12th and then 11th respectively at the 1960 and 1964 Olympics in the Greco Roman welterweight class.
At times he lived up to expectations as an Olympic representative by giving Mike Marino a tussle in a European Mid heavyweight championship clash on September 23rd, 1968 at Nottingham, and drawing with both Tibor Szakacs (twice) and Marino again on their home turf, the Royal Albert Hall. Less impressive was a televised draw with Barry Douglas and losses against John Cox and Leon Arras.
