Van Lent scored a hattrick at Werder Bremen (9-5-1997 against 1. Fc Köln (3-2) and a hattrick at Borussia MG (5-2-2002) again against 1.Fc Köln (4-0)!! Arie van Lent has both the Dutch and German nationality. Willy Lippens was a German born in Hau (W-Germany) who had a Dutch father who never changed his passport. So he became a Dutch International! He played one Cap in 1971 (Rotterdam)against Luxemburg and scored the first goal (Holland won, 6-0). Willy was called Die Ente (The Duck) because of the way he walked....waggled! Played for Rot Weiss Essen and Borussia Dortmund, in 1970/71 season he was scoring 19 goals for RW Essen! (A Dutch record)
