Raymond Marie Sentubéry (21 November 1901 – 4 July 1981) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Red Star, Club Français, and the France national team in the 1920s.

Playing career

Club career

Born in the 16th arrondissement of Paris on 21 November 1901,[1][a] Sentubéry began his football career in 1920, aged 19, at his hometown club Étoile des Deux Lacs, from which he joined Jules Rimet's Red Star.[1] Together with Pierre Chayriguès, Lucien Gamblin, and Paul Nicolas, he played a crucial role in helping the Red Star team win back-to-back Coupe de France titles in 1922 and 1923, starting in both finals as his side defeated Rennes (2–0) and Sète (4–2), respectively.[3][4][5] In the former final, he netted his side's second goal with a header in the 87th minute.[4][6][7] On 12 February 1922, he started in the final of the 1922 Ligue de Paris against Olympique, scoring his side's third goal to seal a 3–0 victory with a "shot from 15 meters into the corner of the goal".[8]

Despite all his success at Red Star, Sentubéry left the club in 1923, and after a brief stint at Stade Rennais (1923–24), he joined Club Français, with whom he played for nearly a decade, from 1924 until 1933.[1] After leaving CF, he played one season each in Nice (1933–34), Saint-Malo (1934–35), and Stade de Reims, where he retired in 1936, aged 35.[1]

International career

On 11 November 1924, the 22-year-old Sentubéry made his international debut for France in a friendly against Belgium in Molenbeek, which ended in a 3–0 loss.[9] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the future L'Équipe) stated that he "only played properly at the end of the match".[10] In total, he earned three international caps for France, with the next two both coming in 1926, in friendlies against Belgium (4–3) and Austria (1–4).[11]

Death

Sentubéry died in Albert, Somme, on 4 July 1981, at the age of 79.[9]
