Dominique Rustichelli (born June 26, 1934 in Marseille , † November 1, 1979 in Paris ) was a French football player .

Player career

Rustichelli grew up in the 8th arrondissement of Marseilles and played as a youth for the US Le Rouet district club, and when he was 17 years old, he also played in its first team. Olympique Marseille brought him for the 1952/53 season , and he was regularly used in his first division eleven in his first and the following five years . Olympique was not one of the top teams in Division 1 at this time ; a fifth (1955/56) and two sixth places in the season-end tables were by far the best placements. Instead, the club reached the cup final against OGC Nice in 1954 - Nice won 2-1 - in which trainer Henri Roessler did not place the half-striker or winger on the side of storm tank Gunnar Andersson , but rather the "old" Larbi Ben Barek and Roger Scotti familiar. After all, he won the Coupe Charles Drago with Olympique in 1957 , but did not score in the final against Racing Lens . Except for this season, in which he had to pause repeatedly due to injury, he was a reliable goalscorer and in Olympique's list of the most successful attackers into the 21st century a place in the top 25.

In 1958 Dominique Rustichelli left the Canebière and played successively for Marseilles league rivals UA Sedan-Torcy and, each only for half a year, Racing Strasbourg and - after its relegation - Stade Reims , France's most successful club of that time. But he didn't feel at home in Champagne either, although things went well for him there, at least in the beginning. Coach Albert Batteux put him in eleven point games where Rustichelli scored five goals, and in three European matches against Jeunesse Esch and FC Burnley one (in this competition three goals) and reflected it in 6: 2 against AS Monaco gained Game for the French Supercup . But when Stades striker Just Fontaine had overcome his serious injury, Rustichelli had no place in the attack of the Rémois . That is why he returned to the Mediterranean coast at the beginning of 1961 and wore the dress of the OGC Nice for four and a half seasons . But even on the Côte d'Azur there were no titles to win for him, neither in the cup competition nor in the championship , in which the Aiglons - Nice's players are still referred to as "young eagles" - achieved twelfth place as the best place and in 1963/64 even relegated to the second division . In 1964/65 Nice was staffed with (ex) national players like Sékou Touré , Charly Loubet , Roger Piantoni and Bruno Rodzik, so that the team returned to the top division as second division champions at the end of the season.

Rustichelli then also played again in Division 1 , but no longer with the Aiglons , but from 1965 to 1967 at the capital club Stade Français and after its relegation at Lille OSC , where the striker suffered a "black year" in 1967/68: he itself it only brought seven point games and Lille was relegated at the end of the season. He then moved to FC Rouen and then experienced his best season, because the Normans , although a team without a big name, came fourth in the first division in 1968/69 and Dominique Rustichelli made it to ninth place on the list of goalscorers with 13 goals . Twelve months later, however, Rouen went voluntarily to Division 2 despite a twelfth place - the club had taken over financially - and Rustichelli stayed there. After Rouen failed as the second in Group C to get promoted again, a one-year stint at Racing Paris-Joinville followed from 1971 .

When Racing even had to relegate to the third division in 1972, Dominique Rustichelli ended his professional career shortly before his 38th birthday. He had made a total of 459 games in the first and 46 missions (with ten goals) in the second division. With his 118 hits in Division 1 , he is still 45th among the most successful first division shooters of all time (2012) .
