Marc Gabriel Degryse (born 4 September 1965), nicknamed Le Lutin d'Ardooie ("The Lutin/Imp of Ardooie") and The Little One,[1] is a Belgian retired professional footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Roeselare, West Flanders, Degryse played with equal success in the Belgian Pro League with giants Club Brugge and Anderlecht, moving to the latter in 1989 for a then-record €2.25 million[1] and proceeding to win five national championships combined, three in a row.
He moved for £1.5 million to Sheffield Wednesday in the 1995 summer,[2] but left after just one season as an important unit in helping the English club's eventual escape from relegation, after a 15th-place finish.
During his time in South Yorkshire, he and teammate Orlando Trustfull had a cameo role in Sheffield-based film The Full Monty, but the scenes did not make the final cut.
Degryse returned to Club Brugge as a technical director the following year,[3][4] before he eventually resigned due to bad results in late January 2007, alongside longtime former teammate, coach Franky Van der Elst.
