Career


He started his career at Lierse SK and stayed there for 21 years. With Lierse, he scored 350 goals in 529 matches and won 2 Belgian First Division Titles and a third unofficial title in the shortened 1940−41 season. He also played one season with R.R.F.C. Montegnée before retiring in 1949, age 39.

He was part of Belgium's team at the 1928 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[2] Voorhoof played in the 1930, 1934 and 1938 World Cups, being one of six known people (5 players and 1 match official) to have appeared in all three of the pre-war World Cups.[1][3] At the World Cup held in Italy, Voorhoof scored twice in Belgium's 2−5 defeat to Germany on 27 May 1934.[4] These were the first Belgian goals in a FIFA World Cup, as the Belgian national team failed to find the net in 1930.

He held the Belgian caps record from 5 May 1938 (when he equalled the total of Armand Swartenbroeks) until 13 April 1958, when his total was surpassed by Vic Mees.[1] He held the Belgian record of goals since 13 March 1938, when he equalled the total of Robert De Veen, until [1] Paul Van Himst equalled his tally of 30 international goals for Belgium on 17 June 1972.[1]
