Arie Haan
His performances attracted the attention of Belgian club Anderlecht, who eventually signed him in. In Belgium, Cornelisse soon suffered a fracture in his metatarsal bone in an exhibition game against his former club TOP Oss in pre-season. This prompted him to return to the Netherlands because, on the one hand, his rehabilitation took more time than planned and, on the other hand, because manager Arie Haan had been fired and his successor Jean Dockx brought about nine new players to Anderlecht. This meant that Cornelisse was free to leave the club, after making no official appearances, and he moved to RKC Waalwijk.
