INFO:
An unpredictable, fairly effective but not very technical striker who had a good movement off the ball. He was constantly fighting and getting into positions not just thanks to his teammates, but also because he wouldn't give up.
In his first season in the pros, he scored 17 goals in 34 games and did just as well the following year. On 15 November 1970, he earned his first cap for the France team, against Belgium at the Heysel and scored twice (2-1). In 1971, he accompanied Strasbourg in D2. Racing stayed there for only one season and Molitor distinguished himself by scoring 40 goals! A performance that earned him to be called up again to the Blues, a rare fact for a player evolving at this level.
Marc Molitor left Alsace in 1973 and joined OGC Nice. His first year on the Côte d'Azur was more than convincing with 16 goals scored. The same year, Nice competed in the UEFA Cup. Molitor scored twice against FC Barcelona (3-0) and a quadruple against Fenerbahce Istanbul (4-0). In 1976, at only 26 years old, he decided to put an end to his career and became a physiotherapist in Nice.
While playing at AS Strasbourg, Molitor was selected and captain of the junior France team.1. During his years in Joinville, he was also called up to the military France team From April 1970, he was selected for the France A team by Georges Boulogne, but without entering the game. In November 1970, he earned his first cap and scored a winning double against Belgium. But he had difficult results with his club, then played in Division 2 in 1971-1972, which relegated him to a substitute role. He had to wait until June 1972 to start again in a friendly match with Les Bleus, against Colombia, during which he scored another goal. In November, he returned to play for a first game at stake, in Ireland, and offered an assist to Jean-Michel Larqué (defeat 1-2). In his third appearance as a starter, in March 1973 against Portugal, he scored again. His next selections are less fortunate. He earned his tenth and final cap in September 1975 against Iceland.
