Rise and Fall of LOSC

"In its early years was the leading club in French football. At the time, there was only football mattered. It must be said that one out of a period of war. N ' There was not much entertainment. LOSC dominated the championship. They won two titles in 1946 and 1956, including a double (1946), they are second five times, third once and fourth twice. And when they finished second Instead, it was often a point or goal difference. There were an incredible number of international and many players from the region. People like Marceau and Jean Somerlinck Baratte would make a fortune today. Unfortunately, at the time they finished all café owners. They did not earn a living with football. This time, they really played for the jersey according to Kreditkarten.

Lille was a hub of football at that time. They were the masters, both in the league Cup in France. In ten years they have played seven Cup finals five straight between 1945 and 1949. Even a semi-final in 1952. Moreover, when the fans took their subscriptions early in the season, they bought their place right away for the final. It became a habit. There was only our nemesis was the Racing Club de Paris. They beat us twice in 1945 and 1949 and once in 1939 under the name of Lille Olympique. The winners of the club comes from those years. After, it will be lean. "

"This period of success lasted ten years. Then there was a break. It's like Reims. It's weird, they are teams that dominate the football but the generation ends and nothing will. All s is stopped almost at once. In 1955, we play the final of the Coupe de France and we win. The following week we play the dams against Rennes. It may come down and it runs away. But the following year, there is no forgiveness. It is new dams and Valenciennes sends us to the second division. From that moment, began to lift between the first and second division. The President Louis Henno, who had been in place since the club has felt superior because of excellent results. There was also the bad hires that weakened the team. Moreover, when one descends to the second division, many players go as John Vincent (in Reims in 1956, ed.) We lost the world.

And in 1954, there was the matter József Zakaria, a member of the "Golden Eleven Hungarian" finalist in the 1954 World Cup. LOSC believed to make a big deal but had not verified the identity of the player (it was actually a former Czechoslovak Legion recently returned from Indochina, ed.) Again, the President has felt over the others and was not informed. The guy could not even tie his shoes ... The decline also came with a history of money. Nonsense. We had a super half-center called Cor van der Hart, a Dutch international. He won the Coupe de France in 1953 and won the championship in 1954. He then requested an increase but was refused. So he said, 'I do not resign'. Club, we thought it would eventually come back but never returned. Many elders say this is the beginning and cause of decline. "
