Max Charbit
Max Nessim Charbit (born June 17, 1908 in Saint-Denis-du-Sig , Algeria , † February 14, 2001 in Manosque ) was a French football player .
Club career
The 175 centimeter tall midfielder Charbit was born in the French colony of Algeria and lived as a teenager in neighboring Morocco , which was also under French rule. There he initially ran for a club called Stade marocain from Rabat until he moved to city rivals Olympique Rabat in 1923 . He remained loyal to this until young adulthood, before he returned to the Stade marocain in 1930 . He then went to metropolitan France and was accepted into the reserve of Olympique Marseille in January 1932 , making him a member of a nationally successful club. This qualified for Division 1 , which was created in the summer of 1932 as the nationwide first league and founded professional football in France. At the same time Charbit moved up to the first team and was on the field when Marseille played his first game in the new division on September 11, 1932 in a 2-1 win over Olympique Lille ; with that he had made his professional debut. In the following years, the then 24-year-old was able to maintain his regular place at a time when substitutions and substitutions were not possible and belonged to one of the most successful teams in the league. He made the leap to the national cup final in 1934 and Charbit was on the field when a possible title win was missed by a 1: 2 defeat against FC Sète . At the beginning of the 1934/35 season, he was appointed team captain near Marseille. In this role he led the team to the cup final in 1935 and was able to win the trophy in the second attempt with a 3-0 win against Stade Rennes .
Immediately after winning the Cup in 1935, he turned his back on Marseille and signed with the second division AS Saint-Étienne . At Saint-Étienne, he was initially the undisputed top performer in a team that was fighting for promotion to the elite class, but narrowly missed it in both 1936 and 1937. During the 1937/38 season, the player was increasingly displaced from the first team, but at the end of the season he was able to celebrate promotion to the first division. There he did not get beyond sporadic missions, while his teammates established themselves as climbers right under the top teams in the table. The beginning of the Second World War in 1939 brought the cessation of regular game operations and meant his professional career for the then 31-year-old Charbit after 72 first division games with one goal and 79 second division games without a goal.
After the end of his career in paid football, Charbit devoted himself to amateur sport and worked as a player- coach for a club from Imphy in Burgundy during the war . From 1950 he wore the jersey of a club from Manosque and in 1950 returned for a short time to Marseille, where he was in the squad of the second team. A few months later he went back to Manosque and stayed there until he finally gave up playing football in 1951 at the age of 43. At the same time he found a new home in Manosque and lived there until he died in 2001 at the age of 92.
National team
Charbit was 25 years old when he was allowed to wear the jersey of the French national team for the first time on March 11, 1934 in a 1-0 defeat in a friendly against Switzerland . In the following years he was appointed to the national team several times, but was not included in the 1934 World Cup . On May 19, 1935, he completed his fourth and last international match in a 2-0 win against Hungary.
