Georges Ouvray

Georges Maurice Ouvray (11 June 1905 – 25 July 1983) was a French footballer who played as a forward for CA Paris in the late 1920s.

Career Ouvray (crouched, first from left) with the CA Paris team that played in the 1928 Coupe de France final. Born in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés on 11 June 1905, Ouvray began his football career at CA Paris in 1927. Together with Jean Gautheroux, Marcel Langiller, and the Laurent brothers (Jean and Lucien), he was a member of the CA Paris team that reached the 1928 Coupe de France final at Colombes on 6 May, which ended in a 3–1 loss to Red Star. During the final, he overtook the opposing captain Marcel Domergue time and time again, and even hit the woodwork once; therefore, the following day, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that he was "truly the great player of the final".

A few months earlier, on 21 February 1928, the 22-year-old Ouvray earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly match against Northern Ireland at Montrouge, scoring his side's fourth goal to seal a 4–0 victory. He remained loyal to CA Paris until 1933, when he left for Club Français, where he retired in 1935, aged 30.
