Augustin Chantrel (11 November 1906 - 4 September 1956)[1] was a French footballer who played as a halfback. He represented France at the 1928 Olympic Football Tournament[2] and at the 1930 FIFA World Cup.[3]

Club career

International career

He was capped 15 times for the France between 1928 and 1933.[9] His first cap was on 11 March 1928, against Switzerland.[10]

He was part of the France squad for the 1928 Olympic Tournament playing in France's only match, a 4–3 loss to Italy.[11]

He was selected to the France squad for the 1930 FIFA World Cup.[12] Chantrel appeared in all three of France's matches.[13]

During the first half of the first match against Mexico, with the score 1–0 in favour of France, goalkeeper Alex Thépot suffered an injury after a collision with a Mexican player, and was unable to continue playing. Substitutions were not allowed at the time, and Chantrel, a halfback, replaced Thépot in goal from the 24th minute until the end of the match, which France won.[14]

Chantrel is the only player in World Cup history to see action as a field player and as a goalkeeper. He is also the only field player ever to replace a goalkeeper after having started the match at a different position.

Chantrel's last international match was against Germany on 19 March 1933.[15]
