Emile ‘Lokonda’ Mpenza and his brother Mbo formed the first ‘Congolese’ sibling pair in the Belgian national team in 1997, although they were hardly ever on the field together. Emile was like a chunk of granite: explosive, fast, and effective. He made his debut on 11 February 1997 against Northern Ireland for national team manager Georges Leekens, who was his manager at Moeskroen shortly before. He scored 19 goals in a 12-year career as a Red Devil.
