Jacques Foix (* November 26, 1930 in Mont -de- Marsan ) is a former French footballer.
Club career
Jacques Foix played up to his 21 years at Stade Montois, the club of his birthplace, football. The talent of center forward in the small amateur club was recognized early, so he has also been appointed as A Teenager in the French vintage selection. 1951 brought him the RC Paris in his Erstligamannschaft, and it is Foix already put in his first season as a professional footballer by, at the end he had brought it with 15 point game hits on rank 11 of the scoring charts. As Racing were relegated a year later, in the second division, he found in the AS Saint- Étienne a new club. With the Stéphanois he played in the next three years with always the championship, even if it never quite enough to win the title. Under coach Jean Snella and on the side of the International Kees Rijvers, goalkeeper Claude Abbes, Rachid Mekhloufi, Eugène Njo - Léa, Yvon Goujon or René Ferrier he was in 1954/55 with 17 hits fifth and 1955/56, with 20 point game gates even third best Sagittarius Division 1, also for A-National player ( see below).
1956 joined Jacques Foix to reigning French champions OGC Nice, where he played the next five years. In the first year on the Côte d' Azur, he brought it to the "young eagles " - Aiglons was and is widespread in France nickname of the OGC player - in the Cup semi-finals; this remained the biggest success he has achieved throughout his career in this prestigious competition. For this he won 1958/59 with the championship of Division 1 his first title, after the team after numerous disposals (including Antoine Cuissard, Joseph Ujlaki and goalkeeper Dominique Colonna ) had experienced a sharp break. Foix, who was among the remaining boning the elf next to Victor Nurenberg and André Chorda had contributed to the league title 18 hits and brought it so once again among the top ten scorers in the league. However, although Nice for the following season with Héctor De Bourgoing further enhanced, two seasons joined, in which the national Aiglons again only represented mediocrity. In the European Cup of Champions 1959/60, however, they met after wins against Shamrock Rovers and Fenerbahçe Istanbul in the quarter-finals - just like 1956/57 - to the eventual winners Real Madrid against whom it this time but at least won their home game, which until then had no French team had succeeded. Both sweeps Jacques Foix denied all games of OGC Nice and was with five hits and also its leading scorer.
In 1961, the Toulouse FC him under contract, but separated from the Foix after only one season in mid-table again. He returned to AS Saint- Étienne and changed for the first time in his pro career in the second division into which the club had just descended. As the winner of the Coupe de France took the ASSE France in the European Cup winner, retired in the second round, however, against 1.FC Nuremberg. For finished Saint -Etienne but the season as second division champions, including the now more active back hanging Jacques Foix had contributed at least eight hits. And twelve months later ranked the Movers & Shakers in the final table of the top division at the first place, again with nine Foix gates. Jacques Foix won his second title in a team, members of which he had worked with some of the mid- 1950s ( coach Snella, Mekhloufi and Ferrier ); but also with his new team-mates such as Robert Herbin, Aimé Jacquet and striker André Guy it suit splendidly. This title was decided by the now 33 -year-old to end his career. He then returned to his native France, southwest, where he initially worked in his father's insurance agency office in Mont -de- Marsan and took it over later.
