From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludo Coeck (September 25, 1955 in Berchem, Antwerp - October 9, 1985 in Rumst, Antwerp) was a Flemish Belgian footballer who played mostly on the left wing or in the centre of midfield. His clubs included Berchem Sport, Anderlecht , Internazionale and Ascoli Calcio. He was capped for the Belgian national team 46 times.

Coeck was a member of the Belgian squad at España 82, where he played in all five of his country's games and scored with a long-range free-kick against El Salvador; and at Euro 84, where he appeared as a substitute in the defeats by France and Denmark.

On October 9, 1985, Coeck was killed when his BMW ploughed into crash barriers near the Belgian town of Rumst, while he was on his way to sign for Lierse.
