André Marcel Louis Allègre (10 May 1895 – 2 November 1966) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for CA Paris and the French national team in the 1910s.[1][2][3][4] After retiring, he became a naval architect.[5]
Biography
[edit]André Allègre was born on 10 May 1895 in Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne,[2][a] but it was in Paris where he began his career, playing for CA Paris from 1910 to 1913, and then for UA Intergadzarique from 1913 to 1915,[4] a club formed by Gadzarts, the nickname given to the students of Arts et Métiers ParisTech, a prestigious university specialized in engineering from which he graduated, hence later becoming a naval architect.[citation needed] There, he was considered "a young prodigy", and played alongside future international Michel Dupoix.[6]
It was as a member of the latter club that on 31 May 1914, the 19-year-old Allègre earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly match against Hungary at Budapest, which ended in a 1–5 loss.[2][3][4]
Together with Marcel Vanco, Louis Mesnier, and Henri Bard, Allègre was a member of the CA Paris team that won the Coupe de France in 1920, starting in the semifinals against VGA Médoc on 11 April (2–1),[7] and then started in the final on 9 May, which ended in a 2–1 win over Le Havre.[8]
Later life and death
[edit]After the First World War, Allègre became a naval architect.[5] He died in Vigneux-sur-Seine on 2 November 1966, at the age of 61.[2]
