Player career

Ginès Liron grew up in the mining area north of Saint-Étienne ; as a 19-year-old, he played his first season in professional division 1 for Olympique Nîmes ; Coach Pierre Pibarot trusted the young center forward , and he confirmed it in a typical “midfield team” with goals. At the end of the 1954/55 season he had made it to fifth place among the first division hunters with 17 hits . The following year was much more difficult for him: Pibarot's successor Kader Firoud also relied on young offensive forces like Bernard Rahis , but in Liron's position it was the equally dangerous Moroccan newcomer Hassan Akesbi . Liron only made eleven point game stakes; however, he helped his club in 1956 to win his first title, namely the Coupe Charles Drago , the "competition of cup losers", in whose final against OSC Lille he contributed a goal to 3-1 victory. Nevertheless, the club then gave him to the league rivals FC Sochaux . His debut season at the " Peugeot factory club " was similar to his first year at Nîmes: the team ended the season in midfield, at least this time in a single-digit position, and Ginès Liron was again among the most accurate shooters in Division 1 (12th place with 15 goals). But there, too, followed a season that was much less successful for the club and the players, and after it had ended, he had to get used to a new environment with new players. At the US Valenciennes-Anzin he found in Édouard Stachowitz ("Stako") an excellent preparer and passer, and in the summer of 1959 he had again placed among the best league attackers with 18 goals scored (9th place). He also reached the final of the Coupe Drago with the USVA, but remained goalless and lost the game.

When AS Saint-Étienne then brought him back to his region of origin, his most successful years followed. Although the Verts - whose players are preferred into the 21st century as "Greens" - were only twelfth in the 1959/60 championship , but Liron scored 23 goals, a number that puts him behind France's "striker legends" Just Fontaine and Thadée Cisowski brought him to third place in this ranking - one place ahead of his former storm colleagues Akesbi and Rahis from Nîmes. At Saint-Étienne he had an offensive department with René Ferrier , Robert Herbin , Jean Oleksiak and Léon Glovacki , which brought the Verts into the national cup final in the same year . In it Liron scored the equalizer, already his eighth goal in this competition, but at the end of extra time the opposing AS Monaco had won the Coupe de France . After another season in which the ASSE finished the league in fifth place - for Liron the best championship result of his career - followed a "very crazy year", at the end of which something happened that had never happened before in the history of French football had given: Saint-Étienne won the national cup and had to be 17th in the table. at the same time relegate to the second division . The center forward himself hadn't scored in the cup final (1-0 against FC Nancy ), he hadn't been successful in the previous five rounds either, but in the league he was once again at the top with 14 goals this season. He went into the Division 2 with, was there in the face of the new signings competitors Rachid Mekhloufi , Jacques Foix and André Guy but not taken into account - not even in the encounters of the European Cup Winners' Cup competition  - and been to the winter 1962/1963 FC Sochaux sold .

With Sochaux in 1964, they were promoted back to the top division, and Ginès Liron made a significant contribution to the fact that the club was able to add two more copies to its trophy collection in 1963 and 1964. In both years the second division player won the Coupe Charles Drago, and the striker was successful in both finals: once in a 5-2 win against UA Sedan-Torcy , and US Forbach (4-0) he finished with three goals almost in Go it alone. After promotion, however, he was only used in half of the point games and then moved to RCFC Besançon in the second division in 1965 . After the club from Franche-Comté despite Liron's 13 goals this season did not get beyond a place in the middle of the table, he moved within the region to the amateur club US Tavaux-Damparis. With his team, based near the city of Dole , Liron made national headlines for the last time because they had reached the main cup round in 1966/67 - and then defeated Racing Paris-Sedan in the thirty-second finals with a record result of 2:10.

Then Ginès Liron ended his career after 239 first division games with 116 goals and 70 matches with 41 goals in the second division.
