About Eugene Bernard
Lived 1914 – 1973 (aged 59). Eugene Bernard was a British association football player.
Eugene Henri Georges Bernard (3 June 1914 – 31 August 1973) He joined Southampton as an amateur in November 1933, and made frequent reserve-team appearances. At the start of the 1936–37 season, both regular custodian Bert Scriven and new signing Len Stansbridge were unavailable, so Bernard was drafted into the first team for matches at home to Chesterfield (won 3–2) and away to Doncaster Rovers (lost 2–0), before Scriven's return.
He remained on the club's books as a player until 1942, making nine first-team appearances in wartime matches, before a serious hand injury brought his playing career to an end.
Coaching career In 1946, he was appointed coach to Southampton's youth players, graduating to reserve team coach in 1952.
He later worked in the insurance business.
