Biography

[edit]

André Allègre was born on 10 May 1895 in Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne,[2][a] but it was in Paris where he began his career, playing for the likes of UA Intergadzarique, a club formed by Gadzarts, the nickname given to the students of Arts et Métiers ParisTech, a prestigious university specialized in engineering from which he graduated, hence later becoming a naval architect.[citation needed]

On 31 May 1914, the 19-year-old Allègre earned his first and last international cap for France in a friendly match against Hungary at Budapest, which ended in a 1–5 loss.[2][3][5]

At club level, Allègre helped CA Paris win the 1920 Coupe de France final at the expense of Le Havre AC (2–1).[6]

Later life and death

[edit]

After the First World War, Allègre became a naval architect.[4] Allègre died in Vigneux-sur-Seine on 2 November 1966, at the age of 61.[2]
