Édouard Salzborn (born August 29, 1927 in Pfastatt , † February 22, 2013 in Épinal ) was a French football player .
Career
Salzborn began playing football in his youth at a club from Thaon-les-Vosges in the Vosges and remained an amateur player as a young adult until he aroused the interest of the professional club FC Sochaux and was accepted into their first division team in 1951. The player, who moved into the team at almost 25 years of age, immediately made the leap into the first team and won both the first edition of the Coupe Charles Drago and the runner-up in 1953 , to which the winger contributed with eleven goals of his own. In the course of the 1954/55 season he exceeded this and set a personal record with 13 goals this season.
After five years, the player turned his back on Sochaux in 1956 and signed with league rivals UA Sedan-Torcy , where he spent two seasons as a regular, although his successes waned in front of goal. When his contract was not extended in 1958, Salzborn moved to the second division Le Havre AC and was one of a number of new signings. Despite his advanced age, he established himself at Le Havre and thus had a share in the second division championship in 1959 and the associated promotion. He also moved into the national cup final in the same year ; he ran both in the final and in the playoff following the tie, which brought his team the win against his ex-club Sochaux.
In the top French division he kept his regular place at Le Havre until he decided to end his career in 1961 at the age of 33 after 257 first division games with 52 goals and 32 second division games with five goals. Subsequently he worked as an amateur trainer for some time until he retired to Dogneville in the Vosges; he died in 2013 at the age of 85 in nearby Épinal.
