Alphonse Léopold Bauduin Six (1 January 1890 – 19 August 1914) was aBelgian football player.[1]
Six was born inBruges and is mainly remembered for his goal-scoring capacities.
In his period withCercle Brugge he scored 93 times in only 89 matches.
His 1910–1911 season was especially remarkable, scoring 38 goals in 20 matches; half of the goals Cercle Brugge scored that season.
In 1910, Six received his first cap forBelgium, winning 3–2 againstthe Netherlands and scoring once. Six played nine times for Belgium, scoring eight goals.
Six still holds two Cercle Brugge team records:[citation needed]
In 1912, Six left Cercle forUnion SG. Due to Union SG not keeping their promises about a job for him - professional footballers were unheard of at that time - he moved toOlympique Lillois, a predecessor of Lille OSC. That season he became the first Belgian football player to become a champion in a foreign country.
In the beginning of August 1914, the Germans invaded Belgium and Six was called to arms. After thefall of the forts inLiège,King Albert I pulled his troops back toAntwerp. During this manoeuvre, the Belgian troops were surrounded by the Germans nearBoutersem. Six and his companions were killed on 19 August, only two weeks after war broke out.[citation needed]
