Henri Vialmonteil

[1][2][3][4] Vialmonteil was widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted French players of the early 20th century, being compared to the likes of Matthias Sindelar or Héctor Scarone.

[6] On 29 October 1911, the 19-year-old Vialmonteil made his international debut for France in a friendly match against Luxembourg, scoring once to help his side to a 4–1 victory.

[8] On 12 March 1916, Vialmonteil, alongside Darques, Henri Bard, and Marcel Triboulet, played for France in an unofficial match against Belgium, which ended in a 1–4 loss.

[5] In the weekly Le Plein Air, he was even openly criticized for succumbing to the temptation of personal play: "Extremely confident in his knowledge of dribbling, he passed one or two opponents, but always found a third or fourth to block his path.

[5] One of his teammates at CA Vitry, Étienne Jourde, exercised the same profession (photoengraver), played alongside him in their 4–3 win over Italy, and was also diminished by injuries and had a premature death in 1921, at the age of 30.
