Gaston Peltier

[3] Together with Lucien Huteau, Marcel Lambert, Georges Garnier, and captain Eugène Fraysse, Peltier was a starter in the Club Français team that won the 1896 USFSA Football Championship, doing so without losing a single match.

[4] On 25 April 1897, Peltier started in the final of the inaugural Coupe Manier against the newly crowded champions of France Standard AC, helping his side to a 4–3 win after extra-time.

[5] A few months later, on 26 December, he started in the very first football match in the history of the Parc des Princes in front of 500 spectators, in which Club Français was defeated 1–3 by the English Ramblers.

[13] In the following week, on 6 May, he started in the 1900 USFSA Football Championship final against Le Havre AC, which ended in a 0–1 loss; he had a good chance to equalize in the second half, but slipped and hit the post, and then he had three goals ruled offside, although the third was perfectly legal.

[15] At half-time, however, Peltier managed to discover a former CF player among the many spectators, Ernest Weber, thus playing with 11 men in the second half, in which he scored the only goal of the match to seal a 1–0 victory.
