Louis Cler (30 December 1905 – 15 December 1950) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Cannes in the early 1930s.

Career

Born on 30 December 1905 in Saint-Raphaël,[1] Cler joined the ranks of AS Cannes in 1919, aged 14,[2] and made his debut with the first team around 1926.[1][3] In 1933, he was described by the local press as having "remarkable qualities of skill and relaxation", which earned him several caps for both France B and the South-East selection.[4]

Cler went on to established himself as the team's captain, playing a crucial role, together with Pierre Fecchino, Billy Aitken, and Charles Bardot, in helping Cannes win the Coupe de France in 1932, scoring the only goal of the final to seal a 1–0 victory over RC Roubaix, and then achieve a runner-up finish in the inaugural edition of the French professional league, losing the final 4–3 to Olympique Lillois.[1][5][6] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (currently L'Équipe) stated that he "played a dazzling game, giving his all".[7]

Cler stayed at Cannes for over a decade, from 1927 until 1938, when he joined Antibes, where he retired in 1939, aged 34.[1] In total, he scored 12 goals in 163 Ligue 1 matches.[1]

Later life and death

During the Second World War, Cler was taken prisoner and remained as such for nearly the entire conflict.[2] Weakened upon his return, he eventually fell seriously ill, after which he was financially supported by his former teammates, who organized a tribute match between AS Cannes and OGC Nice in December 1950, with the proceeds being donated to him. A few days later, however, he died at the Villejuif hospital on 15 December 1950, aged 44.[2][3]
