Jean-Luc Fournier (born December 1, 1958 in Istres , † March 1, 2001 ) was a French football player .

Career

Fournier began his career with small clubs from his home region near Marseille . He was hired by talent scouts from AS Saint-Étienne , first in the youth team and in 1976 in the reserve team. A year later he moved up to the squad of the professional team, but was only called up once in the first division by coach Robert Herbin . In the following season he was no longer in the squad, which is why he left Saint-Étienne at the end of the 1978/79 season and instead signed with the second division club FC Gueugnon . At Gueugnon he became a regular player and in 1981 aroused the interest of first division relegated Olympique Nîmes , where he succeeded Denis Jouanne , who had switched to the then second division club Olympique Marseille . There, too, he first took up a permanent position when he and the team failed to achieve the desired promotion. In the course of the 1983/84 season, however, he was ousted by Alain Lopez . After Nîmes had achieved promotion to the first division in 1984, Fournier was able to regain his role as a top performer. He played 37 of 38 possible games in a year, at the end of which was direct relegation. Despite the relegation Fournier remained in the top French division, as AS Nancy decided to commit. Under coach Arsène Wenger he was part of the team, but had to experience a narrow thwarting of the fall in the second division in 1986 by a relegation victory against FC Mulhouse . When the club went straight down in 1987, the then 28-year-old ended his professional career. Fournier ran from 1988 on for two years for a lower class club from Miramas in his home region, before he finally ended his career in 1990. The player died in a car accident in 2001 at the age of 42.
