Raoul Auguste Duteil (18 October 1903 – 3 April 1945) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Cannes and the French national team between 1929 and 1935.
Career
[edit]Raoul Duteil was born in Saïda on 18 October 1903, as the son of Pierre Auguste Duteil (1874–1939) and Louise Jeanne Bugnez.[1] He began his football career at Strasbourg in 1923, aged 20, with whom he played for five years, until 1928, when he joined AS Cannes.[2] The following year, on 14 April 1929, the 25-year-old Dutheil earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly match against Spain in Zaragoza, which ended in a resounding 8–1 loss.[3][4] Described as a "very fast right winger who provides precise crosses and corners", Dutheil was also the last captain of the French military team.[5]
Together with Louis Cler, Billy Aitken, and Charles Bardot, he was a member of the great Cannes team of the early 1930s, which won the Coupe de France in 1932, beating RC Roubaix 1–0 in the final, and achieved a runner-up finish in the inaugural edition of the French professional league, losing the final 4–3 to Olympique Lillois.[6][7] After the Cup final, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that he was "always dangerous, due to his haste and trepidation; misses easy shots, but he is capable of passing through a screen of opponents".[8]
Dutheil stayed at Cannes for seven years, from 1928 until 1935, when he retired.[2]
Later life and death
[edit]Having married Dorothée Adrienne Guirao (1903–1993), Dutheil died in Troyes on 3 April 1945, at the age of 42.[1]
