Maurice Meyer

Maurice René Meyer (17 August 1892 – 25 March 1971) was a French footballer who played as a defender for Red Star and the France national team in the early 1920s.

Playing career Born in the 6th arrondissement of Paris on 17 August 1892, Meyer is thus one of the few players who won three Coupe de France titles. On 12 February 1922, he started in the final of the 1922 Ligue de Paris against Olympique, helping his side keep a clean-sheet in a 3–0 victory despite conceding a penalty after violently pushing Olympique forward Louis Darques, who hit the woodwork.

On 8 February 1921, Meyer earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly against Ireland at the Parc des Princes, which ended in a 1–2 loss.

Death Meyer died in Draveil on 25 March 1971, at the age of 81.
