Félix Louis Gines Pozo (9 January 1899 – 28 May 1967) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Rouen and the French national team in the mid-1920s.
Career
Born in Sidi Bel Abbès on 9 January 1899, Pozo began his football career playing for a modest hometown club, from which he joined Rouen in 1924, aged 25.[1] Together with Jacques Canthelou, André Blaizot, and Marcel Boulanger, he was a member of the Rouen team that reached the 1925 Coupe de France final, which ended in a 3–2 loss to CASG Paris.[2] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that he was a "prey to events that tossed them around".[3]
On 22 March 1925, a few weeks before the Cup final, the 26-year-old Pozo earned his first (and only) international cap in a friendly match against Italy in Turin, which ended in a resounding 0–7 loss.[4] The following day, the journalists of L'Auto (currently known as L'Équipe), described his performance as "poor, hesitant, and uncertain; in his defense, he rarely had the ball".[5]
Death
Pozo died on 28 May 1967, at the age of 68.[4]
