Career

He began his professional career at RSC Anderlecht , where he matured to become a world-class striker and Belgian national player .

As a national player, he played again for Belgium at the 1998 World Cup in France . Nilis stayed in Eindhoven until 2000 despite numerous attempts to poach, mainly from British clubs. It was not until he was 33 that he moved to the Premier League at Aston Villa after the 2000 European Championship . He was so badly injured on September 9, 2000 in a league game against Ipswich Town that he had to end his career in January 2001.
