Paul Van Himst celebrates his 80th birthday. An icon of the club, the personification of champagne football, one of the greatest in 115 years of club history.
His birthday will be celebrated appropriately. This Saturday, October 7, RSCA will play in a limited edition shirt. A JOMA reissue of the stylish white shirts in which Paul Van Himst became a world star of his generation.

The shirt, with stylish collar, is all-white, symbolizing Paul’s elegance and flair. “The only right color for a football shirt", says Van Himst himself. Shirt sponsors DVV and Napoleon Sports will also be printed fully white for the match against KV Mechelen, in honor of Paul.
The logo of what was then RSC Anderlechtois appears at the center of the chest. The initials of PVH were subtly incorporated at the front of the neck, a tribute to the Golden Shoe of the Century. The unique serial number of each shirt is printed in the neck.
And although the shirt looks back to the past, you can experience it to the fullest with today's technology. Supporters can tap their limited edition shirt with their smartphone at the logo. That leads you to a web page where they relive Paul's rich career through 80 unique images.
