Léon Deladerrière

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Léon Deladerrière (born June 26, 1927 in Annœullin , Département Nord , † March 13, 2013 in Rixheim , Département Haut-Rhin ) was a French football player and coach .

Club career

Léon Deladerrière, who grew up in the northern French mining district between Lille and Lens , was signed by the first division FC Nancy soon after the end of the war . For the team from Lorraine , he came for the first time in the 1947/48 season to a use in France's top division. The only 1.65 m tall, therefore called "P'tit Léon", left winger was agile, strong dribbling, smart-eared, a good flank giver and at the same time dangerous for goals. From the 1950/51 season he had a congenial strike partner in the young, equally slender half-left Roger Piantoni , with whom he got along almost blindly and also spent a lot of time privately. In this season, Nancy's left wing - affectionately and mockingly also known as "attaque de poche" ("pocket attack") - scored 43 of the team's 66 goals, 28 of them Piantoni and 15 Deladerrière; In the list of league hunters , the duo finished in ranks 1 and 10 respectively. In the following season, "P'tit Léon" scored 17 goals (8th place among Division 1 strikers ).

But although FC Nancy had a number of other renowned players in their ranks in the 1950s with Jacques Favre , Kurt Clemens , Jean Hédiart and Jean Templin , it only reached a double-digit place in the final table in the championship almost consistently. Deladerrière's best placement during his twelve years with FCN was eighth in 1952/53. In the 1957/58 season he remained loyal to the club when it had to compete for a year in Division 2 , while Piantoni moved to the then French "super club" Stade Reims . The eleven were more successful in the French Cup : In 1948, 1951 and 1956 Deladerrière reached the semi-finals with them, and in 1953 he even made it to the final. But in this game , of all things, "the duo of the little ones could not meet expectations" : Nancy lost 2-1 to Lille OSC .

When FC Nancy relegated again in 1959, the financially troubled club sold its left winger to FC Toulouse . In his first season there he reached fifth place with the southern French, his best place in Division 1 ever. With the relegation he, who was meanwhile less scorer than -preparer for the strikers Schultz and Khennane , never had anything to do with Toulouse until 1963, with the decision about the championship title or a cup win either. In 1963 Deladerrière moved to LB Châteauroux in the highest amateur league , until 1964 as a player, then as a player-coach.

Stations

  • Football Club de Nancy (1947–1959, including 1957/58 in D2)
  • Toulouse Football Club (1959-1963)
  • La Berrichonne Châteauroux (1963/64, in the CFA)

In the national team

Between April 1952 and December 1958, Léon Deladerrière played eleven full international matches for France , in which he scored three goals. Among them was a goal in the 2-2 draw against Germany in October 1958; it was used against the West Germans at the first meeting after the war (3-1 victory in October 1952). His debut (3-0 against Portugal ) was extremely promising: he provided the assists for all three Bleus goals . He was also used in an unofficial international match, the Watersnoodwedstrijd against a selection of Dutch professional footballers on March 12, 1953.

After his sixth international match in April 1954, there was a more than four-year break in the national dress, interrupted only by a single game, the 3-1 win over Austria in March 1956. From October 1958 - again against Austria, another win (2-1 in Vienna ), with Deladerrière equalizing the temporary lead of the host - he came to another four missions in which he was placed twice on right winger and once on half left. His problem was that almost throughout his career on the left wing position Jean Vincent (Lille, later Reims) was "set" by national coach Batteux ; This meant that Deladerrière was not considered in the French World Cup contingent in 1954 or 1958 .

Palmarès

  • French champion: Nothing
  • French cup winner: Nothing (but finalist 1953)
  • 11 international matches (3 goals) for France
  • at least 371 games and 106 goals in Division 1 , including 313/96 for Nancy, 58/10 for Toulouse

Life after the player career

From 1964 to 1967 Deladerrière worked as a player- coach at LB Châteauroux; this club he led in 1966 to the championship in the Groupe Center of the amateur league CFA. He then worked in the same position at FC Mulhouse until December 1972 , with whom he reached the cup quarter-finals in 1969 - as a 41-year-old player - where his team only beat the later finalists Girondins Bordeaux with 0-1 and 0-2 had to give up. He worked full-time as a notary secretary in Mulhouse until he reached retirement age .
