Pierre Chayriguès

Pierre Chayriguès (born May 1, 1892 in Paris , † March 19, 1965 ) was a French football player .

The club career

Chayrigues was the first goalkeeper of France, who brought it to more than 20 internationals. Unthinkable today, but not unique in the “childhood” of French football , at the age of 14 he already guarded the goal of the men's team at JAS Levallois , a Parisian suburban club. Even then he was distinguished by the fact that he compensated his height of only 1.70 meters by anticipating dangerous situations; he was the type of goalkeeper who played along, for whom the entire penalty area was part of his area of ​​action. It has also become legendary that he was not afraid to throw himself at the feet of opponents who were ready to shoot. However, this style of play has also resulted in numerous injuries. In addition, Pierre Chayriguès is said to have been one of the first in France to develop the fist of flanks and shots on goal up to the championship.

Inconclusive to clarify is the question of when he Levallois to Union Sportive Athlétique Clichy changed: Christmas 1909 he contributed to the Football Club Étoile Levallois (in which the right half and Gaston Barreau participated) a friendly match at FC Uerdingen 05 from. On the other hand, in those “wild years” it was not uncommon for teams to help each other out with players; occasionally even players of the opponent strengthened a team that could not muster eleven men. Whatever the status, Chayriguès kept his box clean and impressed the approximately 500 German spectators with Levallois' 7-0 success.

At 19, defender Lucien Gamblin persuaded him to join Red Star Paris . He remained loyal to this club until the end of his career and was one of the main pillars of its success until the mid-1920s. Red Star was until 1919 the Football Association Ligue de Football Association (LFA) to; the club won their national championship with Chayriguès in goal in 1912 - but this success does not count as an official championship title today . In 1913 Tottenham Hotspur made the French the lucrative offer to play in England ; Chayriguès stayed with Red Star, also because - two decades before the introduction of professionalism in France - he was also able to earn his living there, as he himself admitted at the end of the 1920s. After that, he had received 500 Francs for his move to Red Star  and received a fixed monthly salary of 400 FF plus victory bonuses of 50 FF each. He was also appointed to the national team for the first time before the First World War .

At the Allied Games in 1919, he sustained a serious shoulder injury that seemed to herald the end of his playing days - but the goalkeeper went on and helped his club win the Coupe de France three times in a row from 1921 to 1923 . He ended his active career at the age of 33 due to the long-term effects of an injury sustained during the game against Uruguay during the 1924 Olympics .

Pierre Chayriguès later worked as a trainer , including at the US Avranches .

The national player

Between October 1911 and May 1925, Pierre Chayriguès played a total of 21 times in the Équipe Tricolore . He played eleven of these games by 1914; then war and injuries interrupted his career in the national team before he returned and played nine more international games in 1923/24, including two at the 1924 Olympic Games . In the 3-2 draw against England (1925) he was used one last time in place of the new goalkeeper Maurice Cottenet , who soon after had to make way for Alex Thépot (he was also at Red Star Chayriguès' successor). Incidentally, Cottenet and Chayriguès had also faced each other directly in the 1921 Cup final.
