Robert Désiré Victor Joyaut (5 December 1900 – 12 September 1966) was a French footballer who played as a midfielder for Red Star and the France national team in the early 1920s.

Career

Club career

Born in the 14th arrondissement of Paris on 5 December 1900,[1][2][a] Joyaut began his football career in the youth ranks of his hometown club Red Star, signing his first license with the club in the junior category.[4]

Together with Pierre Chayriguès, Lucien Gamblin, and Paul Nicolas, Joyaut was a member of the Red Star team that won 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.[4][5][6][7] In the latter final, he scored his side's fourth goal with a 40-meter shot to seal a 4–2 win.[8] He stayed at Red Star until 1924, when he retired at the age of 24.[3]

International career

On 28 January 1923, the 22-year-old Joyaut made his international debut for France in a friendly against Spain in Atotxa Stadium, which ended in a 3–0 loss.[2] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the future L'Équipe) stated that he "had a very good debut, but he had to watch out for Acedo and Carmelo, two aces who often beat him".[9] In total, he earned four international caps for France, all in 1923, and all in friendlies.[1]

Death

Joyaut died in La Louptière-Thénard on 12 September 1966, at the age of 65.[2]
