Maurice Meunier

Maurice Eugène Meunier (27 January 1890 – 27 February 1971) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Étoile des Deux Lacs and the France national team in the early 20th century.

[3] On 14 March 1909, Meunier scored a goal to help his side to a 3–2 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise,[3][5] which earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly against these same Belgians in Brussels on 9 May 1909.

[1][2][3] Despite not having prior experience at international level of any kind, Meunier put out a good performance, delivering a decisive cross that was converted into a goal by his club teammate Henri Mouton in an eventual 5–2 loss.

[3] In 1910, Meunier signed for CASG Paris, which is the club of Société Générale, a bank with no sporting ambitions, and whilst there, he became the head of the automobile department, since he knew how to drive despite having no license.

[7][8] In the summer of 1919, the 29-year-old Meunier was a member of the French committee that went to the Inter-Allied Games in Paris, a large sports competition organized in celebration of the Allied victory in the War, where he won the 110m hurdles after improving his personal record to 16,8 seconds.
