Pierre Kompany From Congo to Ganshoren: an incredible life

While son Vincent, especially now that he is back in Anderlecht, gets so much attention, his father Pierre is steadily working on his political career. What a life! Born in Belgian Congo, locked up in prison for more than a year after protests against Mobutu, fled to Belgium, obtained his engineering degree here, made several important inventions, became mayor of Ganshoren and eventually also a member of parliament.

And a father of three children who have each made it in football in their own way.

Pierre Kompany's life story reads like a fairy tale. He tells it in full: here reality surpasses fiction!
