Alphonse Leweck (born 16 December 1981) is a Luxembourgian former footballer who played as a right winger. He was a member of the Luxembourg national team. He is the elder brother of Charles Leweck and Jim Leweck.

Club career

[edit]

As a midfielder, Leweck began his career at Young-Boys Diekirch. In 2001, he moved to Etzella Ettelbruck in National Division. Leweck was close to retiring from football after being diagnosed with a serious fault with a heart valve, which cost him a chance to go on a trial with Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.

International career

[edit]

Leweck made his debut for Luxembourg in a February 2002 friendly match against Albania. After a long departure, Leweck returned to his first match, where he scored the winning goal in the 94th minute against Belarus on 13 October 2007. The goal was the first win for Luxembourg in a UEFA European Championship qualification since 1995. He scored another goal, this time in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier, a 2–1 win over Switzerland. He went on to earn 51 caps, scoring 4 goals.[2]

Personal life

He has two brothers, Charles Leweck and Jim Leweck, who are also footballers, Charles being a midfielder for FC Etzella Ettelbruck. He also works as a cook in the family hotel.
