'''Joseph Adam Eugene "Jef" Lekens''' (April 22, 1911 - September 13, 1973) was a [[Belgium|Belgian]] hockey player. He had an extremely long playing career, spanning nearly 30 years. With the [[Belgian National Team]], Lekens played in 10 major tournaments between 1928 and 1955.<br />
<br />
Lekens was one of the best-known Belgian hockey players of all-time and was an immensely popular figure. He spent most of his career playing with the various Antwerp clubs, but also played several seasons in Brussels.<br />
<br />
His fortunes took a turn for the worse later in life, and Lekens died penniless in 1973.<br />
