James Storme died on September 12, 2026, aged 83. The Belgian midfielder was part of the KAA Gent side that won the Belgian Cup in 1964, the club's first major trophy, after trailing KFC Diest 2-0 and winning 4-2 in extra time. That comeback in the final remains the defining moment of his playing career.
Storme operated in midfield, the engine room of a Gent team that had spent years chasing silverware without landing it. The 1964 final changed that.
