Lucien Londot

Lucien Jean Londot (23 April 1874 – Unknown) was a Belgian footballer who competed in the 1900 Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal as a member of a mixed team representing Belgium that was mostly made-up of students from the Université de Bruxelles.

[1][2] Londot began his football career at FC Liégeois in 1895, helping his side win the inaugural Belgian championship in 1895–96.

[3] During this period, Liégeois had an unbeaten run of 23 official matches that lasted over two years, between 28 February 1897 and 12 November 1899, coming to an end in a 3–5 loss to Antwerp FC.

[5] On 28 April 1901, Londot participated in the very first match of a Belgian national team at the 1901 Coupe Vanden Abeele, keeping a clean sheet in an 8–0 trashing of a third-rate Dutch side.

[6] He was one of the three Liégeois players to feature in this match, the others being Fernand Defalle and Harry Menzies; however, this match is not officially recognized by FIFA because of the presence of foreign players in the Belgium side, including Menzies.
