Georges Bon

Career Georges Bon was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer on 14 July 1886, as the son of a customs officer. He began his football career at his hometown club US Boulogne, whose pitch, called the Moulin Wibert, was perched on top of a cliff, thus being both steep and exposed to all the winds. When the USFSA left FIFA in 1908, the CFI took its place, but the northern clubs remained loyal to the Union, and on 12 March 1910, the USFSA assembled a national team to face England AFA in order to show the press that its team was superior to that of the CFI, beaten 11–0 in 1909, but ended up being humiliated with a resounding 20–0 loss.

In 1934, Bon obtained an assignment to Marseille, where he ended his career in the Customs department in 1944. He subsequently retired to Forcalquier, where he died on 18 December 1949, at the age of 63.
