Career
Defender Conchy, 179 centimeters tall, began playing football at an amateur club from Sisteron in the southern French Alps. He then wore the jersey of a club from Manosque , around 50 kilometers from Sisteron , until the move to Olympique Marseille succeeded, although it is disputed whether this was carried out in 1931 or 1932. In Marseille he met his brother Henri Conchy (1908-1993), who had already arrived there in 1930, and was part of the team that counted in 1932 to the founders of Division 1 as the highest national professional league.
At a time in the Substitutions were not possible, he had some time on his debut in the first division wait before it on 16 October 1932, shortly before his 21st birthday at a 1: 1 against FC Sète summoned and was successful in the 60th minute as a goal scorer for his team. Although he did not get beyond sporadic missions in the following period, he was regularly used in the national cup during the 1933/34 season and made the leap to the 1934 cup final with the team . He was also allowed to play the final, but missed a possible title win by a 1: 2 defeat against FC Sète. Subsequently, he became a regular player in the defense of the southern French and was given the chance of a national title for the second time in a row with the cup final in 1935 . Again he was on the field and won the trophy on the second attempt thanks to a 3-0 win against Stade Rennes .
Immediately after winning the Cup, Conchy Marseille turned his back in the summer of 1935 and signed with first division rivals Red Star Paris . At the capital club he was mostly set, but had to start the relegation battle and barely escaped a possible fall into the second division. Despite having managed to stay in the league, he decided to make another move in 1936 when he found a new employer in the northern French first division club SC Fives . There he missed numerous games in the first year and only then found himself in the team with which he found himself in the lower table areas as in Paris.
In 1938, after a three-year absence, he decided to return to Marseille, immediately rejoined the first team and ended up with the team in second place in the table in 1939. In the same year, the official game operation was stopped due to the Second World War , but Conchy was able to participate in the unofficially still taking place of the championship in the war for his club. Even if a different game system was planned due to the adverse conditions and accordingly fewer games were played, he remained a regular player until he gave up his professional career in 1942. A year earlier he had won the title of the southern French group with the team. During the last years of the war he played for a club from the Marseilles suburb of Château-Gombert and in Perpignan . At the end of the 1944/45 season, the then 33-year-old returned to the first division team of Olympique Marseille for a still informal game and ended his active career with this after 135 official first division games with eight goals and 34 unofficial first division games with two goals.
