Raymond Gigot

[1][3][4][5] Interestingly, he won this selection with a game of musical chairs: Pierre Allemane had failed to get permission to go to Brussels, so it was Marius Royet who took his position of center half, and in turn, Louis Mesnier gave up his place on the wing to play inter, thus allowing Gigot to came in on the right.

[1] Two years later, Gigot was selected as a reserve for the French B squad that was going to compete in the football tournament of the 1908 Olympic Games, but he ended up not traveling to London, thus avoiding France B's humiliating 0–9 loss to Denmark on 19 October.

[11] On 14 April 1912, Gigot started in the final of the Coupe Dewar at Colombes, in which he and Lepage "were the source of great runs"; Français lost 1–3 to Racing Club de France.

[12] In the following year, he started in the final of the 1913 Coupe Dewar, again at Colombes, and again another loss, this time to CA XIVe (4–2), with the local press describing Gigot as the best player of CF's forward line, "making his mark as much for his escapes as for his crosses".

[1] On 6 July, he was sent to the Western Front with the recruits he had trained, where he was placed in the sector of Neuville-Saint-Vaast, just like his fellow one-time international André Puget, whom he had faced on numerous occasions in the USFSA Paris championship.
