Career
Blondel started his career at Royal Excelsior Mouscron, before signing to the Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur on 7 August 2002. Unfortunately for Blondel, his time at White Hart Lane was not as active as expected, and after only two substitute appearances he left for Bruges on 28 January 2004.
Blondel has been capped on two occasions for the Belgian national football team, and has a large number of under-21 and under-19 international appearances to his name. Blondel also, shortly before joining Tottenham, had a trial with the English giants Manchester United.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
