Gilles De Bilde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilles De Bilde (born June 9, 1971 in Zellik) is a former Belgian footballer. At the club level, he played for K.S.C. Eendracht Aalst, Anderlecht, Sheffield Wednesday, PSV and Lierse. He also played with the Belgian national team and was in the team for Euro 2000. He now plays for Willebroek Meerhof at the Belgium division 3.
De Bilde has a reputation of enfant terrible after he hit one of his former teammates Krist Porte during an Anderlecht-Aalst game. Paul Jewell, his manager at Sheffield Wednesday in England, also claimed that he turned down a loan deal because there was no-one to look after his dogs.
De Bilde's love of dogs got him into trouble again in September 2006. He missed a match for his current club Willebroek Meerhof due to the death of his pet dog.[1]
