Player career

At his clubs

Patrice Garande started playing club football at an early age in his hometown. As a 14-year-old he was accepted into the AS Saint-Étienne youth center , later played in their second men's team and from 1977 was coached by Robert Herbin in a total of three point games in the first division of the Verts - as "Greens" Saint-Étiennes players up referred to in the present - inserted. When he  saw no chance of a regular place in view of the competition among the offensive forces - at that time mainly Dominique Rocheteau , Jean-François Larios , Jacques Zimako , Bernard Lacombe and Michel Platini - he switched to the Swiss national league team in 1979 CS Chênois , but returned to France a year later. At the US Orléans , the striker's danger of scoring developed, who got 20 goals in 33 second division matches in the 1980/81 season , which earned him a contract with first division AJ Auxerre in 1981.

In Auxerre Garande achieved his greatest successes in the following five years. The team from Bourgogne finished the 1983/84 season third in Division 1 - this was the best place in the championship during his entire career - and he himself had contributed 21 goals. He was also the top scorer in the first division , together with France's most successful goalscorer of all time, Delio Onnis , and with one more goal than his internationally experienced strike partner at AJ Auxerre, Andrzej Szarmach . He was also allowed to travel to the Olympic soccer tournament in Los Angeles with the French national team at the end of the season (see below for details). In 1985 he was again among the best in the division 1 scorers list . With the AJA under their coach Guy Roux , he also played at European level, playing all four matches of his eleven (against Sporting Lisbon and AC Milan ) and shooting in the 3-1 home win over the Italians in the 1985 UEFA Cup / 86 two goals.

In 1986 he moved to league rivals FC Nantes and returned to AS Saint-Étienne after a season in which he had only played 21 games with only four goals due to injury. With the "Greens" he was particularly successful in his first season ( 1987/88 ) and finished second behind Jean-Pierre Papin among all goal scorers in France, which also earned him his only appointment to the senior national team. A title win in championship or cup competition , however, was not granted to him in Saint-Étienne. With his move to the second division team Racing Lens (1989) began a series of one-year engagements in which he was only occasionally able to bring out the qualities that had previously distinguished him. From 1990 he played in the top league for three years - at HSC Montpellier , Le Havre AC and FC Sochaux  - but even got down from Division 2 with FC Bourges in 1994 and ended his career in 1994/95, again with the US Orléans, in the third division . In France, Patrice Garande has played a total of 315 games with 97 goals in the top division and 74 games and 35 goals in the second division.

In the national team

As a 23-year-old, Patrice Garande took part with the amateur national team at the Olympic soccer tournament in the USA . There he scored a goal in the 2-2-out, first round match against the selection of Qatar , but was then missing against both Norway and Chile. He was substituted on in the quarter-final game against Egypt, which he won 2-0, but not in the 4-2 win after extra time over Yugoslavia. In the 2-0 final win against Brazil, however, he replaced François Brisson a good ten minutes before the final whistle and received one of the gold medals after the final whistle .

Almost four years after this success, in April 1988, he made his only appearance in the French senior team , when coach Henri Michel even included him in the starting line-up in the goalless draw in Northern Ireland . 83 minutes later, after being substituted for Philippe Fargeon , his career with the Bleus ended again.
