Biography
[edit]Henri Lesur was born in Blida, Algeria, on 22 August 1901, and he played most of his career at FC Blida, doing so between 1922 and 1919.[1][2] He helped his club win the North African Championship twice, in 1923 and 1929, as well as the Coupe Steeg in 1929.[1]
On 18 April 1926, the 25-year-old Salvano earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly match against Portugal at Toulouse, in front of 16,000 spectators, helping his side to a 4–2 win.[3][1][2] He played the entire match as a starter, and scored the opening goal of the match in the 16th minute, a header following a cross from his club teammate, Georges Bonello.[4][5]
