Marcel Domergue

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcel Domergue (born November 16, 1901 in Port Said , Egypt ; date of death unknown) was a French football player who was also used for his country's national team and took part in two Olympic football tournaments.

Club career

Marcel Domergue, who was used in the adult sector in both the outer runner and the defensive or center runner position, began playing football as a ten-year-old in student teams in Cairo and later Alexandria . When he continued his training in Paris , his club career, which the "tall, elegant, noble-looking Domergue, in civilian clothes more reminiscent of a diplomat", began as an amateur at AS Française . With the ASF he reached the round of 16 in the French cup competition in early 1921 . From there, CASG Paris picked him up in 1921 , where he also became a national player. During this time he started working for a weather service and was transferred to the Mediterranean coast . That is why he wore the FC Cette dress from 1923 ; with this club he was in the 1924 final of the Cup , in which his team, however, Olympique Marseille had to bend 0-2. From 1924 on, Domergue represented the colors of the SC Nîmes .

In 1926 he finally moved to Red Star AC . For this change, the French Football Association initially gave him no approval because the SC Nîmes was not ready to give it up; therefore Domergue refused throughout the 1926/27 season to follow up on appointments to the national team. Apparently it required the payment of a transfer fee from his new club, which was actually not yet permissible, to the previous club in order to make this change possible.

With Red Star, Marcel Domergue finally won his first and only national title in 1928 - an officially recognized French championship title was first awarded in 1932/33 - when he and his team reached the final of the Coupe de France and, unlike four years, before, this time it prevailed (3-1 win against CA Paris ). As team captain , he then received the trophy from President Gaston Doumergue . A serious injury early in the 1929/30 season ended his career prematurely: Domergue was not yet 28 years old. His later life cannot yet be determined.

In the national team

Between April 1922 (4-0 home defeat against Spain ) and May 1928 Marcel Domergue played 20 international matches for France . He didn't score a goal; but he led the Bleus in three games as captain on the field. Among the highlights of his international career were appearances at the Olympic football tournaments in Paris and Amsterdam ; Domergue was there in all three French games (1924 7-0 against Lithuania and 1: 5 against Uruguay , 1928 3: 4 against Italy ). The Italian game was also his last with the national team.

He also played three times against "Lehrmeister" England (1924, 1925, 1928) and, from German-speaking countries, against Austria (1: 4 in May 1926) and Switzerland (1: 0 in April 1926, 3: 4 in March 1928).
