Augustin Chantrel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Augustin Chantrel (born November 11, 1906 in Mers-les-Bains , † September 4, 1956 ) was a French football player .

Club career

The right runners Augustin Chantrel has the greatest part of his sporting career as an amateur at the Red Star AC spent, interrupted only by two short stints at other clubs. In the Parisian suburbs he, like Marcel Domergue and Paul Wartel , belonged from the mid-1920s to the new generation of players from which the club, which has now merged with Olympique Paris to Red Star Olympique , built up its new fighting team. The crowd favorite, called “Tintin”, won the national cup competition with Red Star in 1928 and became a national player in the same year (see below) . In 1929 he moved to CASG Paris ; However, he returned from there at the turn of the year 1930/1931 back to Red Star, with whom he also took part in the first season of the 1932 newly created French professional league. After the club's relegation in 1933, Augustin Chantrel played for second division Amiens AC from his Picardy region of birth, but a year later he wore the dress with the red star on his chest, which had returned to Division 1 . The outside runner was there with goalkeeper Alex Thépot , Marcel Langiller , Numa Andoire , Marcel Pinel , Jacques Mairesse and Alfred Aston , but only played 16 of the 30 point games. In the 1935/36 season he came to 24 league appearances, the following year on 27. Chantrel could no longer win a title: a ninth place in the table in 1937 was the best placement, in 1938 Red Star rose again from the second division. In the cup competition too, the end came in the semi-finals ( 1935 and 1936 ) at the latest . In 1939 Augustin finished Chantrel - who is said to have played for the Paris Université Club as a student ; When that was, however, is not clear from the literature used - his playing career. Nothing can be found out about his subsequent life until his untimely death at the age of 50.

Player stations

There are sometimes different details about the length of time he has been a member of the association; If you follow L'Équipe / Ejnès, who also name the clubs represented for each international match, the following table results:

  • Red Star Amical Club (1925–1929?)
  • Club Athlétique des Sports Généraux Paris (1929? - late 1930)
  • Red Star Olympique (1931-1933)
  • Amiens Athletic Club (1933/34)
  • Red Star Olympique (1934-1939)

National player

Between March 1928 (3: 4 against Switzerland ) and March 1933 (3: 3 in Germany ) Chantrel played 15 international matches for France , although from the beginning of 1929 to May 1930 he was ignored for 15 months. He did not score a goal in the blue dress. During his international career, however, he took part in two major competitions, namely the 1928 Olympic football tournament in Amsterdam and the first World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay . In 1928 he played France's only game (3: 4 against Italy ). Two years later he was one of those in the Bleus squad who were used in all three preliminary round games. Chantrel had to go between the posts in the opening game (4-1 win over Mexico ) for goalkeeper Thépot, who was eliminated early due to injury.

Although three renowned French sports journalists - Gabriel Hanot , Maurice Pefferkorn and Lucien Gamblin - had also embarked on the long, cumbersome trip to South America, only the two Red Star players Pinel and Chantrel reported in several short telegrams signed with a PC for L'Auto from this World Cup, because the publisher of the sports newspaper, Henri Desgrange , “only for an insignificant increase in sales” did not want to afford a special paid correspondent. The two buddies used this exclusive role "for one of the earliest ... bullying attacks in football history": as they "couldn't stand" their teammate Célestin Delmer , they suppressed his use in the game against Chile and instead reported a different line-up at home. The French association only noticed and corrected this manipulation in 1992, when an employee looked at the official team photo from 1930 a little more carefully.

  1. ↑ For a long time 1909 was the year of birth (for example in Chaumier and de Montvalon / Lombard / Simon); In the meantime (2011) the French association has also corrected the corresponding information on Chantrel's data sheet (see under web links) .
