Van Brussel played for local side Excelsior '31[2] and was part of the Go Ahead squad that won promotion to the Eredivisie in 1963.[3]
Van Brussel worked for Go Ahead Eagles, Rohda Raalte (amateurs), SC Heerenveen, De Graafschap, FC Groningen and SC Heracles. At Heerenveen his playing style was called the "Brussels Luna Park", because of his open attacking play which resulted in a surge in attendances.[4][5]
Van Brussel died from heart failure during a vacation stay in Turkey.[6]
