Raoul Lambert was quick, explosive and had an incredibly hard shot. This power ruined his body, however. His short and powerful muscles took a toll on his knees, which he destroyed with almost every shot on goal. Despite his countless injuries, he had an exceptional career. He was so indispensable at Club Brugge that he went on (European) away trips when injured, just to sit in the stands. He scored a penalty while limping at the 1970 World Cup against El Salvador.
