Bernard Delcampe (born September 12, 1932 in Mohon , Ardennes department , † January 8, 2013 ) was a French football player . The striker reached the final of the Coupe de France with AS Troyes-Savinienne . Later he was a coach in the second division and worked as an official in the Fédération Française de Football .

Athletic career

Delcampe joined Stade Reims just before his 17th birthday . Under coach Henri Roessler , the young international, who finished second in the 1950 UEFA youth tournament in Austria with the French selection, made his debut six months later in Division 1 alongside Francis Méano , Albert Batteux , Paul Sinibaldi , Roger Marche and Robert Jonquet . Even when his teammate Albert Batteux took over the role of coach from Roessler, he was only considered very sporadically, was not involved in a single game in Reims' Cup victory in 1950 and, with only two league matches in three years, saw no future for himself at the Rémois .

Therefore, Delcampe moved in 1952 together with Antonio Abenoza to AS Troyes-Savinienne. With the second division he missed promotion to the first division in his first season as fourth in the table, in the second division season 1953/54 the team finished second behind Olympique Lyonnais as second in the table. He was also successful with her in the Coupe de France, the offensive player reached the semifinals in the 1952/53 and 1953/54 competitions . Against FC Nancy and OGC Nice , however, they only narrowly missed the final with one goal each. 1955 relegated athletically, but due to the refusal of license for the unsound economically promoted Red Star Olympique remaining in the league, Delcampes Elf had to relegate the following year as bottom of the table. At the same time, however, the team moved into the cup final, where he ran alongside team captain Pierre Flamion , Fernand De Vlaeminck , the Dane Erik Kuld Jensen and the Swedish legionnaire Åke Hjalmarsson in the attack line. A few hours after the final defeat by UA Sedan-Torcy , he was drafted into the French army to serve in the Algerian war .

After half a year, Delcampe returned and joined FC Limoges . With the second division promoted, he managed to march through to Division 1. After relegation in 1961, he played for the club in the second division until 1965. He then let his career come to an end at Stade Poitiers in the Championnat de France Amateur , where he later succeeded as a player-coach and - after the end of his active career - coach. Between 1970 and 1974, the club played under his leadership in the second highest division.

As an official at Stade Poitiers, he recommended himself for the Fédération Française de Football. There he was a member of the Conseil Fédéral and responsible for the youth work. He was awarded the French Order of Merit Ordre national du Mérite .
