Léon Jeck

Léon Jeck (8 February 1947 – 24 June 2007) was a Belgian footballer. He was a tough-tackling centre-back for Standard Liège and played for the Belgium national team against Russia and Mexico in the 1970 FIFA World Cup group stage. It was Jeck's tackle that was controversially given as a penalty in the Mexico game that helped the hosts, not Belgium, progress to the next stage. He died on 23 June 2007 at the age of 60 from a pulmonary embolism.
