Gaston Louis Brébion (20 March 1887 – 21 September 1970) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Étoile des Deux Lacs and the France national team between 1906 and 1910.
[1][2][3][4] Gaston Brébion was born on 20 March 1887,[2][4][a] in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, barely 300 meters from the parish church of Saint-Honoré d'Eylau, where the Étoile des Deux Lacs was based.
[5] In January 1906, the FGSPF organized a sort of ultra-trail (running, throwing, jumping, cycling, climbing, and fencing) in which Brébion totaled 100 points, meaning that he was a complete all-round athlete.
[5] Brébion helped Étoile win a three-peat of FGSPF Football Championships (1905–07), which qualified the club for the inaugural edition of the Trophée de France in 1907, an inter-federation national competition organized by the CFI, which had just been founded by Simon.
[5] It was perhaps because of this catastrophic performance that marked a turning point to a trajectory that had been upward until then, as he then suddenly disappeared from the Étoile line-ups after 1910, and his place was taken by Félix Romano.
