[1] Between 1896 and 1899, Allemane played with several Parisian clubs, such as Union athlétique de Passy in 1896,[7][8] and then for United Sports Club in 1897[9] and 1898, the year in which he turned 16, but even though he was still very young, he was already standing out for his size at 1.80 metres tall, which, at a time when the average conscript was no taller than 1.63 metres, made him a colossus, especially since he would soon weigh 90 kilos, hence the choice to place him at the back.
[1] On 27 February 1899, the 17-year-old Allemane officially became a member of Club Français,[10] and later that year, on 23 October, he started in the 1899 Coupe Manier final at Suresnes, helping his side to a 6–0 win over RC Roubaix.
[11] Together with Lucien Huteau, Georges Garnier, and Gaston Peltier, Allemane was a member of the Club Français team that won the 1899–1900 USFSA Paris championship.
[14] Later that year, on 23 December, Allemane formed a defensive partnership with Louis Bach in the 1900 Coupe Manier final at Joinville, keeping a clean-sheet in a 1–0 win over UA I arrondissement.
[18] While at Racing, Allemane did not hesitate to wear other jerseys, playing a few matches for other clubs, such as FC Paris in the 1903–04 season[19] and S.C. Amical in 1908.
[20] The player was criticized in the press for regularly changing teams,[19] having several licenses in different Parisian clubs,[21] and was even suspected of selling his services, left and right, to the highest bidder, thus no longer being really an amateur.
[1][22] He stayed loyal to CASG for five years until 1914,[3] when Allemane decided to "rather train young players and to become a coach and manager" within USA Clichy, thus retiring from playing at the age of 32.
He was an ideal captain, possessing the technique and practice of the game, admirably helped by formidable physical means, without however lacking flexibility.
[1] The same happened in March 1905, but not in February, arriving at the last minute for the match against Switzerland, for which he was named captain, which at the time were the ones who had the duty of dictating the tactics to be followed and making up the line-ups.
[1] In his next match, however, France lost 12–0 to England amateurs on 23 March, and when the game ended, the bitter and demoralized Allemane poured out his heart in the newspapers: "We will never learn anything from the Swiss and the Belgians, who do not know what English football is any more than we do.
