De Bourgoing in the mid-1950s

Héctor Adolfo De Bourgoing (born July 23, 1934 in Posadas , Argentina , † January 22, 1993 ) was an Argentine - French footballer who played for the national teams of both countries.

Club career

De Bourgoing came from a diplomatic family ; his father emigrated to Argentina in the early 1930s , where he acquired extensive property on which his son grew up. The family members were Argentinian and French citizens . After his first athletic steps at a local club, the enthusiastic and talented player became a professional footballer at CA Tigre shortly before his 19th birthday ; In 1956, CA River Plate brought the winger to Buenos Aires , and a year later Héctor De Bourgoing had contributed to River Plate's title win in the Liga Argentina de Fútbol with 15 goals, 11 of them headed . During this time he also became the Argentine international . In 1958 he nevertheless returned to CA Tigre.

The French journalist and ex-national player Gabriel Hanot had seen De Bourgoing with the Albiceleste - the Argentine national players are called "white and sky blue" because of the color of their jerseys -, was enthusiastic about the way he played and recommended him to the President of OGC Nice in 1958 / 59 just become French champion . This allowed the Franco-Argentinian to be observed for a long time, and from August 1959 the Côte d'Azur was the striker's new home for four seasons. In his first season he competed with Nice in the European Cup and was involved, albeit goalless, in one of the "historic hours" of French club football, in which the OGC already played in the quarter-final first leg against four-time cup winners Real Madrid at the Stade du Ray 2-0 down after 26 minutes and was able to turn the game around in the second half. Nice's Luxembourg storm tank Victor Nurenberg scored all three goals for the 3-2 final score , the winning goal after a cross from De Bourgoings. In Division 1 , Héctor De Bourgoing demonstrated his own accuracy and in his second year (1960/61) was the fifth best league scorer with 20 hits; In 1962/63 there were again 20 goals, this time reaching rank 7. Even if De Bourgoing could not win a title with Nice, his style of play meant that the sélectionneur Georges Verriest invited him to a national team course for the first time in late 1960, together with his club-mates André Chorda and Georges Lamia . However, he was initially not taken into account in this group (see below ) , and otherwise the 1960/61 season was not only pleasant for the sometimes irascible winger: After an unsightly attack against his Sedaner opponent in a cup game , he was awarded by the football association for Banned from this competition for almost nine months.

In 1963, Héctor De Bourgoing moved to league rivals Girondins Bordeaux , where he stayed until 1969 together with his OGC teammate André Chorda. In 1963/64 (8th with 15 goals) and 1965/66 (5th with 21 goals) he was back in the top group of scorers, he was runner-up with the Girondins three times (1965, 1966, 1969) and twice in a cup final (1964 and 1968), but he did not win a title there either. In the 1968/69 season he was rarely considered; That's why the attacker, who with a total of 133 goals is still number 30 on the list of the most accurate first division hunters in France , then went to the second division Racing Paris-Neuilly for one last year . It has not yet been possible to determine how his further life went from 1970.

In two national teams

In the Argentine senior national team, national coach Stábile De Bourgoing started in five matches from 1956, where he stormed right-winger alongside Omar Sívori and Antonio Angelillo . He played his last international match for the Albiceleste in March 1957 against Ecuador .

In France, too, those responsible for the national team wanted to include him in the senior squad. In 1960 (see above) this failed because Héctor De Bourgoing only spoke Spanish at the time and there were voices that questioned his French origins, because of his long suspension after the 1961 cup game (see above) , but above all because the association was not sure whether it could take into account a player who had already played for another senior national team and had also been based in the country for less than three years. The result of lengthy negotiations between the French and world federations finally opened the player - due to his dual citizenship recognized by both governments involved and because more than three years had passed since his last appearance with Argentina - his first appearance in the Équipe tricolore in April 1962 . But although the newcomer France shot 1-0 up, the Bleus lost 3-1 at home to the Prinzenparkstadion Poland . His second game, four weeks later, also ended in a defeat (1: 2 against Italy in Turin ). After that, Georges Verriest or his successor Henri Guérin did not consider him for a good four years. Before the 1966 World Cup , the successful attacker could no longer be ignored and was part of the French World Cup squad . However, he was only used in the second round game (July 15, 1966) against Uruguay , brought France again 1-0 lead and had to leave the place after 90 minutes as a loser (1: 2). In the third group game (0: 2 against hosts England ) only spectators, not only did the tournament end prematurely for Héctor de Bourgoing - as for the entire Équipe tricolore - but he was never called up to the national team afterwards.
