Henri Arnaudeau

Club career Born on 23 April 1922 in Bordeaux, Arnaudeau began his football career at his hometown club Bordeaux in 1940, aged 18, remaining there for eight years, until 1948. In his last season at the club, he was the top scorer of the 1947–48 French Second Division with 28 goals scored, thus playing a decisive role in helping the team achieve promotion back to top-flight. In his third appearance for France, which was his last as a Girondins player, he assisted and then scored in first-half to help his side to a 3–1 win over Belgium.

Arnaudeau earned a further three caps for France in 1950 and 1951, now as a Stade Français player, and all in friendlies, helping his side to a draw and two victories.

Death Arnaudeau died in Saint-Dizier on 23 October 1987, at the age of 65.
