Augustin Chantrel (11 November 1906 - 4 September 1956)[1] was a Frenchfootballer who played as ahalfback. He represented France at the1928 Olympic Football Tournament[2] and at the1930 FIFA World Cup.[3]
He was capped 15 times for theFrance between 1928 and 1933.[9] His first cap was on 11 March 1928, againstSwitzerland.[10]
He was part of the France squad for the1928 Olympic Tournament playing in their only match, a 4–3 loss toItaly.[11]
He was selected for the France squad for the1930 FIFA World Cup.[12] Chantrel appeared in all three of France's matches.[13]
During the first half of the first match againstMexico, with the score 1–0 in favour of France,goalkeeperAlex Thépot suffered an injury after a collision with a Mexican player, and was unable to continue playing. Substitutions were not allowed at the time, and Chantrel, a halfback, replaced Thépot in goal from the 24th minute until the end of the match, which France won.[14] Chantrel is the only player in World Cup history to see action as an outfield player and as a goalkeeper. He is also the only outfield player ever to replace a goalkeeper after having started the match at a different position.
Chantrel's last international match was againstGermany on 19 March 1933.[15]
