Guillaume Bieganski

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guillaume Bieganski (born November 3, 1932 in Libercourt , Pas-de-Calais department , † October 8, 2016 in Lunel , Hérault department ) was a French football player .

In the club

The defender , whose first name is occasionally given as Guilhem ( Wilhelm ?) And who was born in the same place as Léon Glovacki, who was also of Polish origin , came to Lille OSC in 1951 from a small club near Douai . He corresponded to the prototype of the northern French defender of those years: a reliable and uncompromising clearer, the type of "terrier" who made life difficult for opposing strikers. From 1952 on in Division 1 , he won the national cup in his first professional season , where he was also in the final (2-1 winner against FC Nancy ). In the following season 1953/54 he was champion with Lille , called into the national team and a year later cup winners for the second time (this time in the final 5-2 over Girondins Bordeaux ).

In the first post-war decade in particular , the LOSC was one of the most successful clubs in France and its team was “peppered” with national players: Guillaume Bieganski played alongside Jean Baratte (until 1953 and again in 1956/57), goalkeeper César Ruminski (until 1954), Marceau Somerlinck and Jean Vincent (both until 1956), André Strappe (until 1958) and Yvon Douis (1953–1959). All the more surprising was the relegation to the second division in 1956 ; However, Bieganski did not change the club, but actively contributed to its immediate resurgence.

But when Lille had to go back to the second division in 1959, the club gave it to the neighboring club RC Lens . Notable successes could not be achieved with Lens in the following four years; after all, Bieganski made five more international matches. In 1963 he left the Sang et Or - blood red and gold are the club colors of the RC Lens to this day - and joined the second division US Forbach . In 1963/64 and 1964/65 the Lorraine team only landed on the penultimate place in the table, whereupon the not yet 33-year-old player ended his active career.

Then Guillaume Bieganski trained the amateurs of the US Marignane until 1968 , which he led to the Provence Cup victory during this time . Further information on his sporting and private life is not available.

In the national team

Between December 1953 and September 1961, Guillaume Bieganski played 9 full international matches (no goal) with the Équipe tricolore . He was also part of the French squad at the 1954 World Cup , but was not used in Switzerland. His career in the blue national dress was interrupted for several years from May 1955, before coach Batteux considered him again from October 1960. In both periods of time, the defensive line had been more of a temporary solution: in his first four matches he replaced the regular right defender Lazare Gianessi , and from 1960 Batteux experimented on the middle position with several players, including five times with Bieganski, after Robert Jonquet , who took this place held since 1948, had resigned as a result of the disappointing course of the European Championship finals for France .
