Fernand Canelle

Fernand Canelle (born January 2, 1882 in Paris , † September 12, 1951 ) was a French football player .

Canelle played at Club Français Paris throughout his career . As early as 1896, at the age of only 14, Canelle was part of the championship team. Four years later, he took part in the 1900 Olympic Games with his club, representing France . The Club Français lost 4-0 to the British team Upton Park FC and scored a 6-2 win against a Belgian selection.
