Teugels was born in Ixelles on 3 August 1946.[1] He played at club level mainly for R.W.D. Molenbeek, after spells at Anderlecht and Union Saint-Gilloise. To this day, he is the only footballer to have played for all three major clubs in Brussels. Because of his physical condition and his powerful shots with his left foot, Teugels was nicknamed ‘Dynamite Jack’.[2]
At international level, Teugels earned 13 caps for the Belgium national team, and participated in UEFA Euro 1972. Teugels died on 28 September 2024, at the age of 78.[1]
