Joseph Kaucsar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Kaucsar , also Iosif Kaucsar (born September 20, 1904 in Abeuth , then Austria-Hungary , as Gyula Kaucsar , † 1986 in France ), was a French football player .

Club career

Kaucsar was born in today's border area between Hungary and Romania ; it is unclear how his Hungarian first name Gyula (Julius) became the Romanian Iosif (Josef) . After the First World War he came to Saint-Raphaël in the south of France , where he worked in a car workshop and from 1923 played football for the local club Stade Raphaëlois . The middle runner is described as a defender "with an iron will, very athletic, as a man hit just as pitilessly as effective, impetuous, but determined".

He did not win a national title with this club; However, he was in the semifinals of the French national cup competition with Stade in 1927 and 1929  - in 1929 against the club that Kaucsar, who had recently become a national player, joined two years later, namely Sports Olympiques Montpelliérains . With Montpellier, which was renamed Stade Olympique Montpelliérain in 1937 , he played from the introduction of professionalism (1932/33 season) as a professional footballer, until 1935 in Division 1 and after relegation for several years in the second division . From 1934 to 1938 he was on a team with his brother Alfred, who was nine years his junior ; he himself played for the Montpellier Athletic Club from 1939 or 1940 until well into his fifth decade .

In the national team

Joseph Kaucsar is said to have played internationally for Romania before he was appointed to the French national team for the first time in March 1931, after taking French citizenship a few weeks earlier . He made his debut in the first official international match against Germany and played a major role in the Bleus' 1-0 win due to his defensive performance, especially against its striker Richard Hofmann . That's why he played the next 13 French matches in a row. In the 1-0 win over Spain in April 1933, he was seriously injured, was replaced by Georges Verriest and then came only once, eleven months later, to an international assignment. As a result, he also missed participating in the World Cup in 1934 . He did not score a goal in his 15 international matches, but ran on as team captain once .

One of the highlights was his participation in the 5: 2 success over "teacher" England in May 1931: Kaucsar had suffered a head wound in a duel and played the rest of the game "with a blood-smeared face". He also has an international match against Romania (June 1932). Against Germany he was there one more time (3: 3 in March 1933); he also wore the national jersey against Switzerland (at 3: 3 in 1932 and at 0: 1 two years later) and against Austria (February 1933, 0: 4).
