Raymond Jouve

[6] On 27 October 1902, he started in the opening match of the Paris championship's top series against Racing Club de France; in its preview, the journalists of La Presse stated that "two players stand out clearly from the lot, Jouve at the front and Nicolet at the back, the others are ordinary".

[10] In the final against RC Roubaix at the Parc des Princes on 16 April, Jouve scored the only goal of the match with a header in the fifth period of extra-time, after nearly two and a half hours played, thus contributing decisively to his team's triumph.

[5][13] This match was held in the Spanish capital to commemorate the visit of French President Émile Loubet to Madrid, and it was attended by King Alfonso XIII; Jouve was once again the only scorer of his team in a 1–1 draw.

[17] In October 1906, Ernest Weber, the star journalist of the French newspaper L'Auto (the forerunner of L'Équipe), stated that his change of positions from center-forward to center-half improved the Gallia team because it forced him to abandon his personal game, adding that after "realizing that he can no longer shine with a particular brilliance, he will become the perfect player he believes himself to be".

[5] Furthermore, the captain of the French team, Pierre Allemane, forgot to give Jouve the instructions he had received from Espir: to mark and hinder Belgian's full-back Edgard Poelmans, hence why he remained isolated on the wing, "which made him look useless and overwhelmed like a transplant".

[5] In the 1986–87 season, the FFF directory referred to him as René, but eventually the name "Raymond Jouvé" was discovered in a report of the 1905 match between Gallia Club and Real Madrid made by Spanish magazine Marca.
