Michel Stievenard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michel Stievenard (born September 21, 1937 in Waziers , Département Nord ) is a former French football player .

Club career

The professional career of the athletic, fast and goal-scoring left winger , who lacked a trace of self-confidence, began in the 1954/55 season with RC Lens , first division ; Stievenard was only 17 years old at the time and played just as many point games. However, he was not the final regular player until 1956/57, when the northern French became runner-up for the second time in a row . In his seven years at the Racing Club, these remained his best league placements. Stievenard also failed to win the title in the cup competition ; only in 1958 he was in the semi-finals, which was then lost to Stade Reims with 1: 2. The team was currently strong on the offensive with Maryan Wisnieski and Egon Jönsson and later Ahmed Oudjani , but also had experienced defensive champions in their ranks in Xercès Louis and Guillaume Bieganski and at times with Bernard Chiarelli a technically adept outside runner .

In 1961 he left his home region and played for another seven years for SCO Angers , who, however, apart from 1966/67 -  league third , albeit clearly distant from AS Saint-Étienne and FC Nantes - was always placed in the middle of the table and also as one in terms of personnel “Gray mouse of Division 1” was valid; Michel Stievenard's best-known teammates there were the outside runner Kazimir Hnatow and the inside strikers Stéphane Bruey and Claude Dubaële . In the cup, too, there were only two semi-finals (1962 and 1966). After all, the attacker appeared in his first season for Angers with 15 goals in 9th place on the top scorer list . With the descent of the SCO to Division 2 (1968), Stievenard's career ended after over 400 games and more than 100 hits in the top division. It has not yet been possible to determine where he, who was only 30 years old at the time, played afterwards.

Stations

In the national team

Michel Stievenard played 2 full internationals for France in July 1960 ; he did not get a hit. National coach Albert Batteux had called him into the French squad for the first European championship final round and there both in the semifinals (4-5 against Yugoslavia ) and in the game for third place (0-2 against the ČSSR ) - but as a half-left, which is not Stievenards from the club's usual position, because Jean Vincent was bet on left winger .
