Career

Daels started playing football at the age of 14 with his local team SV Wevelgem. He soon made fame as a speedy forward. Daels was discovered by Club Brugge in a match against Wevelgem. Club got a hard time winning, and afterwards, Club Brugge coach Lucien Masyn insisted on the recruitment of Eric Daels in the blue and black ranks. However, the Club Brugge board considered the transfer fee too high. A few season later, Daels got his transfer to Bruges: Cercle Brugge bought the player. Daels made his debut for Cercle against White Star in a 3-1 home victory. He had an important role in Cercle winning Belgian Second Division that season.

Daels was transferred to Excelsior Mouscron after the 1964-65 season, a transfer Daels actually did not want. After 1 season at Mouscron and 3 seasons with White Star Lauwe, he became player-coach for SV Moorsele, KEG Gistel, HO Wingene and KWS Houthulst. After Daels quit his playing career, he became manager for FC Knokke, Club Roeselare, Daring Ruddervoorde, FC Moerkerke, SC Beernem and FC Varsenare.

gollark: I've heard it said that it might be more effective for vegans/vegetarians to present not eating meat as an opportunity to do good people may not be aware of, instead of presenting eating meat as EVIL to people who're already doing it.
