Charley Scheibenstock

Charley Scheibenstock (5 June 1886 – 18 October 1973) was a French footballer who played as a defender for SH de Marseille and Olympique de Marseille. His brothers René, Andreas, and Henri are also footballers.

Career Like so many other Swiss living in Marseille, the Scheibenstock brothers were members of the Cercle helvétique, which at the start of the century had around 130 and 160 members, who would meet there to read newspapers, play billiards, or organize parties, but on 22 July 1904, a group of young sports enthusiasts, including the Scheibenstock, founded the football section, which could only field 7 to 9 players during its first years of existence. Although it was formed in 1904, it was not until 6 November 1907 that the name Stade Helvétique was adopted and officially declared in the prefecture.

In 1914, Stade Helvétique had to close its doors due to a lack of opponents, since all of them had been mobilized on the front during the outbreak of the First World War, with the club eventually ceasing all activity in 1916. Their biggest rivals, Olympique Marseille, took advantage of its dissolution to incorporate several of the club's most prominent players, such as Marcel Vanco and three of the Scheibenstock brothers.

Charley, Henri, and especially René played a crucial role in helping OM win back-to-back regional championships in 1918 and 1919 (Littoral and Provence), Scheibenstock stayed loyal to OM for six years, from 1915 to 1921, scoring 3 goals in 21 official matches.
