Moelaert made his debut for hometown club Cercle Brugge on 23 December 1962 against FC Antwerp.
But more disastrous were the corruption rumours spread by Lierse player Bogaerts, who said he had been approached by someone of Cercle.
Although Cercle formally denied these rumours, they were sentenced to play in third division, back to where they were five years ago.
He chose to leave Cercle for city rivals Club Brugge[2] alongside Gilbert Bailliu, a much-discussed transfer.
He died of heart failure in the AZ Sint Jan Hospital in Bruges in March 2023, aged 80.
