Liétaer 1933

Noël Liétaer (born November 17, 1908 in Neuville-en-Ferrain , † February 22, 1941 in Rostock ) was a French football player .

Club career

The 172 centimeter tall Liétaer was mainly used in the outside runner position , but occasionally also as a half- forward. He came from the north of France and played as a young adult - at least since 1929 - for the US Tourcoing . From there he moved to the Excelsior AC Roubaix in 1931 or 1932 . This was one of the founding members of the national division in the 1932/33 season , which was created as a national professional league that year. He made his first division debut on September 11, 1932, when he was on the pitch in a 3-0 defeat against FC Sète . He developed into a permanent high performer, but then missed outDuring the season none of the 18 games at the time and was also an important goal scorer with six goals. In addition, he was appointed to the national team for the first time and made it to the national cup final in 1933 with the EAC , to which he had also contributed a goal in the second round. In the final against city ​​rivals Racing Roubaix he was actively involved in the 3-1 victory and won the title. Liétaer was considered an “elegant and dynamic technician” who “had an enormous radius of action” on the field and in particular provided his attacking colleagues Norbert Van Caeneghem and Marcel Langiller , and later Henri Hiltl and Jean Sécember , with clever passes.

In the following seasons he kept his regular place, even if he only made ten point appearances with one goal in the 1934/35 season, and was able to establish himself with the EAC in both the league and the cup, but without again being close of a title win to come. In the 1938/39 season, the team barely escaped relegation. After the season it came due to the beginning of the Second World War to the cessation of regular play, which after 186 first division games with 17 goals represented the end of his professional career. A little later he was called up as a soldier and was taken prisoner by Germany. Liétaer came to Stalag II A in Fünfeichen . During his stay he was also used in a work detachment in Rostock. There he died of blood poisoning on February 22, 1941 at the age of 32. The soccer field laid out by the French prisoners of war in Stalag II A in 1944 in Stade Liétaer was named in honor of Liétaer . A camp Olympiad was held there with teams from France, Italy, Yugoslavia and Poland. To do this, the square was converted into a stadium.

National team

Liétaer was 24 years old when he made his debut for the French national team on May 25, 1933 in a 1-1 draw in a friendly against Wales . Starting in March 1934, regular appointments followed and he was considered for the squad for the 1934 World Cup in Italy. At the first tournament encounter against Austria , he mainly had to take care of Josef Bican , but had to accept the elimination of his team due to a 2: 3 defeat after extra time. He then played only one game in the national dress, namely on December 16 of the same year against Yugoslavia . This marked the end of his international career after seven games without a goal of his own.

Others

A sports complex is named after him in Liétaer's home town of Neuville-en-Ferrain. In addition to the football field, which is also named after him, there is an ash field, a sports hall and two dojo's on the site .
