A left–footed fly–half, Cabrol proved a prolific points scorer for his club AS Béziers during 12 seasons and was known for his long kicking.[1] He regularly finished as the top scorer in the French Championship through the 1970s and accumulated 1,545 points across all competitions. Amongst his six Brennus Shield titles, Cabrol is remembered for his role in the 1974 championship final, when he kicked the match winning drop–goal against RC Narbonne.[2]
