Biography

[edit]

André Allègre was born on 10 May 1895 in Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne.[1][a] He began his career playing for CA Paris from 1910 to 1913, and then for UA Intergadzarique from 1913 to 1915,[3] a club formed by Gadzarts, the nickname given to the students of Arts et Métiers ParisTech, a prestigious university 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.[4]

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.[1][2][3]

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),[5] and then started in the final on 9 May, which ended in a 2–1 win over Le Havre.[6]

Later life and death

[edit]

After World War I, Allègre became a naval architect.[7] He died in Vigneux-sur-Seine on 2 November 1966, at the age of 61.[1]
