Raymond Gouin

Raymond Maxime Gouin (23 October 1888 – 28 October 1954) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Jeanne d'Arc de Levallois and the French national team between 1908 and 1910. He later presided over the Courville Football Association for eight years, from 1946 until he died in 1954.

Biography Born in Choisy-le-Roi, on 23 October 1888, Gouin played his entire football career in the patronage clubs, most notably at the Jeanne d'Arc de Levallois between 1908 and 1910, one of the many Catholic clubs affiliated with the Gymnastic and Sports Federation of French Patronages (FGSPF). In 1904, the 16-year-old Gouin was the vice-president of a small patronage near the parish church of Saint-Ambroise.

On 9 May 1909, Gouin earned his first international cap in a friendly match against Belgium in Brussels, which ended in a 2–5 loss. Under his presidency, the club played in the 1st departmental division from the 1945–46 until the 1951–52 season. His son, Jean-François Gouin, played for this club until he too died in 1967.

Gouin died in Neuilly-sur-Seine on 28 October 1954, at the age of 66.
