Adolphe Michel was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Olympique de Marseille from 1915 until 1924. A historical member of OM in the inter-war period, he spent his entire career there, thus being part of the so-called one-club men group.
Career
[edit]Michel joined the ranks of Olympique de Marseille in 1915,[1] helping OM reach the final of the 1919 USFSA Football Championship, which ended in a 4–1 loss to Le Havre.[2][3]
Together with Ernest Clère, Jean Boyer, and Jules Dewaquez, he was a member of the OM team coached by Victor Gibson that won the Coupe de France in 1924, beating Sète 3–2 in the final.[4][5] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the future L'Équipe) stated that Michel, along with Douglas De Ruymbeke, was OM's most dangerous player.[6] He remained loyal to OM for nine years, from 1915 until 1924, scoring a total of 13 goals in 54 official matches.[1]
