Hendrik van Heuckelum (6 May 1879, The Hague – 28 April 1929, The Hague), nicknamed Henk, was a Dutch footballer who played as a forward for HBS-Craeyenhout and Royal Léopold Club, and who represented Belgium at the 1900 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal in the football tournament.[1]
Biography
In his club career he played for both HBS-Craeyenhout in the Netherlands, and Royal Léopold Club in Belgium, finishing runner-up of the 1901-1902 Belgian championship with the letter after losing a tie-breaker to Racing Club de Bruxelles 3-4.[2]
In 1900 he was a member of the Belgian team, which won the bronze medal in the football tournament. In those times it was common to play for another country. He played one match as a forward in which he scored one goal in a 2–6 loss to France, represented by Club Français.[3]
Also in 1900, in addition to having the honor to participate in an Olympic Football event, van Heuckelum also had the honor to participate in the first-ever European club tournament, the 1900 Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz, as a Léopold player.[4] However, the glory soon become an humiliation, as they were knocked out in the first round by the then Dutch champions HVV with a resounding 8-1 loss, being van Heuckelum who scored Léopold's consolation goal.[4]
