Career

Émile Reuse was born on November 8, 1883 in the city of Bruges in the province of West Flanders . Already in his youth he appeared for the local FC Brugeois , for which he made his debut in the Belgian first class in 1900. In the 1900/01 season , the team reached eighth of a total of nine places and was even ahead of local rivals CS Brugeois . In the following 1901/02 season , the first class was divided into two leagues with a subsequent final round. Reuse and his team only came in last place in Group A and thus did not make it into the final round. After the team also ranked last in Group A in 1902/03 , the performance increased in the following season 1903/04 when FC Brugeois made it to second place in Group A. The team then made it to the final round, which they finished in third place.

From this period, the FC Brugeois established itself in the top of the league and ranked in the Division d'Honneur , the new name of the Belgian first class again combined into a league, in 1904/05 again in third place in the table, it should be mentioned that the Game operations this season were not fully completed. In 1905/06 he was runner-up with his team behind the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and a year later reached third place in the highest football league in the country. This season he was also brought to the Belgian national team for the first time and used on April 14, 1907 in a friendly international match in Antwerp against the Netherlands . In the 3-1 defeat, which only ended after 120 minutes played, he was in action from the start and for the full duration of the game.

Reuse and his team had a similar experience in the league in the 1907/08 season ; after another third place in the final standings, Reuse made a move to city rivals and league rivals CS Brugeois . This would actually have been relegated to the second division as the last place in the 1907/08 season, but was allowed to remain in the Division d'Honneur, as the league was expanded to a total of twelve teams in the following 1908/09 season .

While his ex-club reached third place, which has now become common, in 1908/09, Reuse and CS Brugeois made it to 6th place in the final ranking. From the 1909/10 season , the team around the offensive player developed into one of the strongest teams in the league. In the end, the team was in third place in the table and was only two points behind the first and second placed, which was mainly due to the offensive strength and the constant defensive. Due to his achievements, he was called up shortly before the end of the season under the first real coach of the Belgian national team, the Scots Willam J. Maxwell , a second time in the national team of his home country.

In the friendly against Germany on May 16, 1910 in Duisburg , he completed the full 90 minutes; the game ended in a 3-0 win for the Belgians. This was also his last international match for his home country. Reuse's career highlight, however, was in the 1910/11 season , when he was with CS Brugeois one point ahead of city rivals FC Brugeois champion of the highest Belgian football league. After the team could not defend the title in the following season and this finished in fifth place, Émile Reuse ended his career as an active.

Little is known about his further life after the end of his football career. Reuse died on June 5, 1975 at the age of 91, around 30 kilometers from his hometown in Ingelmunster in the province of West Flanders. In the summer of 2016, at least, he got into the regional media when his three daughters Marie Rose (* 1912), Eléonore (* 1913) and Monique (* 1923) celebrated their 300th birthday together. The sisters were considered the oldest sisters in the country. At this point in time, the three siblings had a total of 15 children, 42 grandchildren and 76 great-grandchildren. The three daughters come from his marriage to Leontine Bonvalet (born February 3, 1888 in Koolkerke ; † November 8, 1974 in Ingelmunster), whom he married on April 26, 1911 in Sint-Michiels .
