Biography
Alphonse Emile Pierre Decorte (2 August 1909 in Bruges – 31 May 1977 in Bruges) was a Belgian player. His position on the field was forward.
Throughout his career, Decorte only played for one team: Cercle Brugge. He made his debut in the 1927-28 season, right after Cercle Brugge's national championship and cup final victory. In Decorte's first match, Cercle lost 5-1 at the pitch of Beerschot. Even though Decorte never really became a first team regular, he managed twice to become top scorer of the team, in 1932 and 1933. He also became national champions with Cercle in the 1929-30 season.
Alphonse Decorte played his last match for Cercle against Daring Club de Bruxelles on 29 December 1935. Cercle lost the match 1-6. Cercle would eventually relegate that season.
