Gérard Migeon (born November 28, 1947 in Longjumeau ) is a former French football goalkeeper .

Career

Migeon grew up in the area around the French capital Paris and played there for several clubs before doing his military service in Joinville and joining the local second division club RC Joinville in 1967 . After a year as a regular goalkeeper, he was brought in 1968 by talent scout Pierre Garonnaire to AS Saint-Étienne in the top French division, where he was intended as the second goalkeeper behind Georges Carnus . Thanks to occasional missions, he achieved direct participation in the championship title in 1969 and in defending the title the following year .

Due to an affair in March 1971, when it became known that Carnus and another team-mate had already signed a contract with Olympique Marseille and thus the competitor in the championship race for the following season , Carnus was suspended from the club and Migeon became the goalkeeper. In this role, he made three serious mistakes in a decisive game against Marseille, which cost the victory and thus possibly the title. Nevertheless, he initially remained a regular player in the following season until Ivan Ćurković ousted him for the winter break of 1971/72. In view of this, Migeon was loaned to the second division club SC Toulon in the summer of 1972 and completed there a year as the first goalkeeper until he returned to Saint-Étienne in 1973; Another year passed, in the course of which he was not used, as those responsible continued to rely on Ćurković.

Accordingly, the player signed in 1974 with rival club Olympique Marseille, where he initially held the role of number two in goal behind René Charrier , before he was able to establish himself as a regular goalkeeper in the second season, as Charrier suffered from permanent consequences of a car accident. As such, he made it into the cup final in 1976 , in which he won the title with his team thanks to a 2-0 win over Olympique Lyon . He kept his position between the posts in the following years and had to accept relegation to the second division in 1980. In 1981 he ended his professional career at the age of 33 after 191 first and 82 second division games.

Following the end of his career, the ex-professional was briefly active as a player-coach for an amateur club, but quickly rejected the idea of ​​a possible coaching career and instead settled as a restaurateur in Hyères in the south of France . There he applied unsuccessfully in 2008 for a seat on the local council; In 2010 he was appointed president of the fourth division FC Hyères .
