After Schwanner came Henri Dekens. After a short interim assignment from Lucien Masyn, he was soon replaced by Louis Dupal. He laid the foundation of the great FC Brugeois. He was a father to the players. In 1965-'66 Blauw-Zwart finished fifth, one season later second. At the end of that season, Dupal had to make way for Norberto Höfling, who started his second term at de Klokke. By now it was clear that the players' core contained more and more quality. Better times were ahead with Boone, Carteus, Lambert, Thio, Balliu, Marmenout, Savat, Vanderlinden, Simoens, Moelaert, Van den Daele, Hinderyckx, Loske, Bossaer, De Coninck and Deprez. With this group of players, added in the following years with Kurt Axelsson, Brian Hill, Stefan Reisch, Tom Turesson, Alfons Bastijns, Robby Rensenbrink, Henk Houwaert and Luc Sanders, FC Brugeois would definitely settle into the national football top. During the 1967-'68 season we recorded European football for the first time at the Klokke (against Sporting Lisbon). Blauw-Zwart again finished second in the competition. The team also won its first Belgian Cup in 1968. It was 1-1 against Beerschot, but FC Brugeois completed the job with bravura via two penalty shootouts. A second Belgian Cup was held in 1969-'70 under trainer Frans De Munck. In 1973 the absolute crowning moment came with a second national title in the highest football class with trainer Leo Canjels. The association had waited 53 years for it. Also with the national team 'Club Brugge KV', the name that was officially chosen in 1972, came more and more into the picture. Regular selections for Fernand Boone, Johny Thio, Pierre Carteus, Raoul Lambert and Erwin Van den Daele were proof of this. FERNAND BOONE Fernand Boone was the undisputed title goalkeeper of the Blue-Black Great Old for almost 19 seasons (1953-72). In 1967 he was the first person from West Flanders to win the most coveted trophy from Belgium, the Golden Shoe, at the age of 33. He also played 12 times for the national team. 1963-1974: Tweemaal bekerwinst en kampioen 1963-1974: Tweemaal bekerwinst en kampioen JOHNY THIO In 1963 kwam Johny Thio, op 19-jarige leeftijd, via FC Roeselare bij Club Brugge terecht. Vooraleer hij in 1975 de club verliet, maakte hij er zo wat alles mee. Thio speelde 293 competitiewedstrijden in eerste nationale, speelde 21 maal Europees met Blauw-Zwart en werd 24 maal opgeroepen voor de nationale ploeg.
