Bernard Bosquier

Bernard Bosquier ( born June 19, 1942 in Thonon-les-Bains/Haute-Savoie ) is a highly successful former French football player.

The club career

From its athletic training produces a prolific striker, Bosquier brought a huge shot capacity and an excellent heading ability; as a senior, he was increasingly used in defense and was doing very versatile because of its good look for the game situation. As a 18- year-old he was initially one year in the second division club Olympique Alès under contract, before in 1961 the FC Sochaux secured his services. With this club he joined at the end of the season from the top flight from, returned in 1964 but returned to footballing House of Lords, where he made a sustained attention to themselves: Still at the end of this year he was first appointed to the national team.

For the 1966/67 season signed him the AS Saint- Étienne, and here began a terrific success story, had at the Bernard Bosquier large proportion. In a team that had with Robert Herbin, Aimé Jacquet, Rachid Mekhloufi, Hervé Revelli, a little later Salif Keita and Jean -Michel Larqué absolute top -rounder in their ranks and of two of the best French coach of all time (initially Jean Snella, then Albert Batteux ) was formed, Bosquier won in five years, four champions and a runner-up title, was twice Cup winners and, incidentally, two time winner of the Gold Filled. In those five seasons he was missing in only 11 league games, had at least 22 goals for the Greens, as the ASSE is called in France achieved as a defensive man, and also in the national cup finals as well as in the European Cup of Champions, he stood without exception in the first lineup. So it is hardly surprising that France Football in 1967 and in 1968 he was selected as France's Footballer of the Year.

After the runner-up in the summer of 1971 left Bosquier Saint -Étienne and retired here in dispute, because at a time when the ASSE still had chances for the title, in a daily newspaper to him and goalkeeper Carnus were accused of changing intentions. Bosquier denied this: he had rather President Roger Rocher made ​​the suggestion for another six-year contract, to this by saying that he wanted " no civil servant footballers" have rejected. In an era when the players and very little experience with the new in France contracts had to time - in 1969 /70 was the players' union UNFP managed to abolish the compulsory binding of players at their first professional club to 35th birthday - likely to be the "club patriarch " of this proposal seemed like a presumption. Striker and goalkeeper were deleted on the spot from the squad of the Greens, and Rocher besides that provided that Bosquier also had to quit his training as interior designers.

From the 1971/72 season played for Olympique Marseille and Bosquier then won on the side of the striker Josip Skoblar in his first season in the Championship Provence again (it was already his fifth ), Cup and for the third time also the Doublé. In early 1974, his career was coming to a close: After more than 350 Erstligaeinsätzen the veteran still led in some encounters the predominantly young kickers FC Martigues, then unterklassige "branch" of OM, on the playing field and then hung his highly decorated football boots on the proverbial nail.
