Teammate of Gilbert Bodart for more than 350 matches, Guy Hellers was particularly surprised to learn of the former goalkeeper’s suicide attempt this week. The Luxembourger returned to the relationship between the two men, which was very special.
A true Standard de Liège legend, Guy Hellers played more than 350 matches with Gilbert Bodart. The Luxembourger knows the former doorman like the back of his hand and looks back on their relationship in the columns of The last news. “Gilbert was a friend. There was good contact between us. On the pitch, we only needed one look to understand each other.”
“We lost sight of each other. It happens in life, in the world of football as well as outside it. When I come back to Liège to see a Rouches match, I always hope to meet him. I spoke to him once more on the phone l “last year and no, he never asked me anything. Sometimes it’s not easy to manage your post-career.”
Guy Hellers surprised by Gilbert Bodart’s suicide attempt
The former midfielder was therefore surprised to learn of his former teammate’s suicide attempt this week. “It was a big shock, I never thought it would be possible. When we played together, Gilbert was always ready to help everyone. He must be completely exhausted. He was a phenomenon, on and off the pitch . He may have had a big mouth, but with his performance, he might afford it.”
Guy Hellers therefore hopes for one simple thing for his friend: that he can rediscover the pleasures of life. “May he find the help he needs and get his life back on track. For Gilbert, it shouldn’t end like this, he doesn’t deserve this.”
