Marie-Agnès Annequin-Plantagenet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie-Agnès Annequin-Plantagenet (born on September 12, 1960 in Chevillon as Marie-Agnès Annequin ) is a former French soccer player . She won the national championship title seven times in her career.

Club career

Marie-Agnès Annequin began playing football as a teenager at the Sporting Club Marnaval , a district club in Saint-Dizier , near her birthplace . And although the women's team was unable to attract national attention, the midfielder became a French national player just a few days after her 18th birthday (see below) . In the summer of 1979 she was won by Stade Reims , which at the time dominated women's football in France , and with their team she won her first national championship just under a year later .

Why the player left Reims immediately after this success - and apparently did not play for any other, larger club the following year - is not stated in the literature. From the 1981/82 season, however, she wore the dress of the VGA Saint-Maur , whose athletic rise was just beginning at this time. In 1982 and 1984, respectively, with Elisabeth Loisel and Nicole Abar, two players came to Saint-Maur-des-Fossés , with whom Annequin had brought the championship cup to Reims in 1980. From 1983 to 1991 Marie-Agnès Annequin, who was increasingly used as a defender over the years , and the VGA, with the exception of a single season - that was 1988/89 - were in the French championship final year after year, and six of them they finished victorious. During this successful period, the club had only two coaches, both women and former national players: Dominique Tedeschi , the first woman in France with a corresponding trainer license, and Elisabeth Loisel for two seasons.

It is not certain whether the now married Marie-Agnès Annequin-Plantagenet - the spelling Plantagenêt is only found occasionally - actually ended her club career as early as 1991, as stated on the website of the French football association FFF (see below under web links ). After all, she had even scored Saint-Maur's equalizer in the 1991 championship final , and despite all her successes, the introduction of a national first women's league announced for 1992 may have encouraged the athletic, only 30-year-old defender to continue her activities. At least she remained connected to VGA Saint-Maur well beyond this point in time, because in the 2008/09 season - as a 48-year-old - she played four second division and two cup games for her club. Although it was mostly short appearances, but in one of the encounters, the point game against AC Évreux , she was on the field for the full 90 minutes. However, she could not prevent Sant-Maur's relegation to the third division at the end of the season.

Stations

  • Sporting Club Marnaval (until 1979)
  • Stade Reims (1979/80)
  • La Vie au Grand Air Saint-Maur (1981 - at least 1991, at least again in 2008/09)

In the national team

Marie-Agnès Annequin played the first of her 25 full international matches for France against Ireland in September 1978 . In February 1979 she scored her only goals in the blue national jersey in a 6-0 victory over the Welsh women - but three of them. In the following encounters she was also part of the team; From the summer of 1980, as in the club, there was also an international break that lasted with the Bleues until autumn 1982. In the following four and a half years, national coach Francis Coché used them regularly in the French defensive formation, most recently in May 1987 when the French and West German women met for the first time (2-0 defeat in Dillingen ). Coché's successor Aimé Mignot did not consider the player who was still highly successful in the club.

Marie-Agnès Annequin-Plantagenet only played against Switzerland against women from German-speaking countries : in 1983 two games that ended in a draw in the qualification for the Women's European Championship and in a friendly 3-1 victory in 1987.
