André Julien Guy Louis Chauvel (29 July 1909 – 24 January 1973) was a French footballer who played as a forward for RC Roubaix and Rennes in the 1930s.
Career
[edit]Born in the Brittany town of Lamballe on 29 July 1909, Chauvel began his football career at RC Roubaix in 1932, aged 23.[1] Together with William Hewitt, Edmond Leveugle, and Georges Verriest, he was a member of the Roubaix team that reached the 1933 Coupe de France final, which ended in a 3–1 loss to Excelsior.[1][2] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that he was "the most prominent man" of Roubaix's forward line, having "put in a considerable and unfortunately in vain effort".[3]
That same year, Chauvel returned to Brittany, where he joined Rennes, with whom he reached the 1935 Coupe de France final in Colombes, which ended in a 3–0 loss to Olympique de Marseille.[1][4] Rennes scored from a free-kick, but Chauvel was offside, which caused the referee Lucien Leclercq to disallowed it.[5] He stayed at Rennes for three years, from 1933 until 1936, when he moved to Ligue 2 team Le Havre, where he retired in 1937, aged 28.[1] In total, he scored 29 goals in 78 Ligue 1 matches.[1]
In 1939, Chauvel briefly played for AC Chapelain, a team based in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre.[6]
Death
[edit]Chauvel died in Blain, Loire-Atlantique on 24 January 1973, at the age of 63.[1]
