Jules Cottenier (10 October 1904 – 29 June 1995) was a French footballer who played as a defender for RC Roubaix and the French national team in the 1930s.
Career
[edit]Born on 10 October 1904 in Częstochowa, Poland, Cottenier began his football career at RC Roubaix in 1931, aged 17.[1][2] Together with William Hewitt, Edmond Leveugle, and Georges Verriest, he was a member of the Roubaix team that reached back-to-back Coupe de France titles in 1932 and 1933, starting in both finals, which ended in losses to Cannes (1–0) and Excelsior (3–1).[3][4] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that following Excelsior's second goal, "even Cottenier himself lost his composure and rushed a little at random".[5]
On 20 March 1932, the 27-year-old Cottenier made his international debut for France in a friendly match against Switzerland at Bern, which ended in a 3–3 draw.[6] In total, he earned four international caps for France between 1932 and 1934, all in friendlies, with the next three ending in victories over Belgium (3–0), Spain (1–0), and the Netherlands (5–4).[6] Against Spain, he came off the bench in the 37th minute to replace Lille's Jules Vandooren, who had sustained an injury to the nose.[7]
Death
[edit]Cottenier died in Tournai, Belgium, on 29 June 1995, at the age of 90.[6][2]
