Famous moments

In Belgium, Clepkens is most known for two special feats, first he guided Racing Mechelen to the quarter finals of the 2008–09 Belgian Cup, after holding Zulte Waregem to a 0–0 draw during regular time, before making two saves during the penalty shootout and scoring the winning penalty kick himself. His second remarkable feat is scoring a last-minute header against Mons during the Belgian Second Division Final Rounds 2011–20#2011, denying the opponents their promotion to the Belgian Pro League.

gollark: The toy version in said Minecraft computer mod just works off the distances directly, since those are provided by the mod's wireless transceivers.
gollark: Ah yes, an asteroid firing a laser at the Earth which is somehow visible in space which is reflected off at a strange angle.
gollark: Doesn't it work out the distances from timing differences or something rather than signal strength or whatever?
gollark: I only know a bit about this from a sort of toy GPS-ish thing in a Minecraft computer mod (less ridiculous than it sounds), but I think you just need a bunch of distances and knowledge of the positions of them.
