Jacques "Jacky" Stockman (8 October 1938 – 4 May 2013) was a Belgianfootball player who played as a striker.[2] He played most of his career for R.S.C. Anderlecht and was selected 32 times for Belgium.
Club career
Stockman started with the youth of FC Ronse but was soon discovered by the big clubs. He eventually chose R.S.C. Anderlecht, where he made his debut in the A-team in 1957. Stockman played 30 games that season and scored 13 goals. A season later, Anderlecht became national champions. In 1962, Stockman became top scorer of the Belgian first division with 29 goals.[3]
He was clearly ready for a big European team but simply stayed in his home country, like so many players of the time. In 1966, at the age of 28, he was sold by Anderlecht to Club de Liège despite interest from AS Roma. The easy-scoring striker also continued to play well at Liège but could not win a single trophy with the club. From 1967, he played for several years at KSV Waregem, and in 1972 Stockman returned to Anderlecht. Because there were other strikers there at the time, such as Paul Van Himst, he hardly got to play. Aged 35, Stockman ended his professional football career. In total, he played 411 games in the highest division and scored 184 goals.[4]
