Timeline
Josephus Antoon Louisa "Jef" Mermans (16 February 1922 in Merksem – 20 January 1996 in Wildert), nicknamed "The Bomber", was a football striker from Belgium, who played much of his career at Anderlecht, with whom he won seven Belgian Championship titles and finished top scorer of this competition three times.
He played 405 games and scored 369 goals for Anderlecht, making him the club's all time topscorer.
He is also the 6th top scorer ever for the Belgium national team with 27 goals.
In the early 1930s, the young Mermans, along with a couple of friends, could not afford to become members of FC Antwerp.
Eventually, the boys tried their luck at Tubantia F.A.C., a small club in the Antwerp suburb, and forced themselves into the youth team.
Five years later, Mermans entered the first team.
His progress caught the attention of the federal coach and Jef was selected for a Belgium B squad match against Luxembourg in January 1939.
At this point, he received a proposal to play in the Beerschot team twice in two years, but Tubantia Borgerhout refused.
A member of the Anderlecht staff arrived at Borgerhout in 1942 with a blank check that was filled in with the record sum of 125,000 Belgian francs in a quarter of an hour.
On his arrival at Anderlecht, the Championship was quite erratic due to the World War II, but he helped Anderlecht in becoming a regular team.
Note: The goals that Mermans scored in the games of the uncompleted 1944-45 season are not taken into account.
In 1947, Mermans was the key player in the conquest of the first Anderlecht title in first division as he scored 38 goals (succeeding to Bert De Cleyn as top scorer).
He was top European goalscorer of the season 1949-1950 netting 37 goals.
At the peak of his career, Anderlecht received offers from A.S. Roma, Torino Calcio, Atalanta Bergamo, Real Madrid, S.S. Lazio and Atlético Madrid but refused them all.
Mermans played 56 matches with the Belgium national football team, 2 of which were in the 1954 FIFA World Cup.
In 1957, the Bomber, as he was called for his powerful strikes, left Anderlecht for the small K. Olse Merksem club in his native town.
With him, the club promoted from 3rd to 2nd division and even finished 4th in 1960 for its first season at this level.
Later on, the club was renamed Olse Mermans to celebrate the player.
