INFO:
Charrier was a goalkeeper with decent reflexes and positional awareness, mostly on the line, however poor and insecure at judging crosses. Without doubt, his best season was 74/75 when he finished 2nd with Marseille and won his only 2 caps for the national team, albeit not something he could be proud of due to his performances.

Trained in the Isère club FC Brignoud, this native of Innsbruck, passes through Chaumont and the battalion of Joinville then begins his professional career in Sedan. After two seasons spent in the Ardennes, it was the big leap to Olympique de Marseille, which propelled him, at just 23 years old, to the summits at a time when goalkeepers were allowed to mature for a long time before launching them into the big bath. René burned the steps. Promised to succeed the great Georges Carnus in the France team, he is selected for the first time against Hungary and despite the victory produces an average match, even bad. Recalled a second time for a friendly match of the Blues against Portugal, he commits the irreparable. On a center from his left, he misses completely on his exit and fumbles with Marius Trésor. The Portuguese Nenê takes advantage of the mistake and only has to push the ball into the empty goal. At half-time of this match, he was replaced by a certain Dominique Baratelli. Coincidence or not, it will be his last. An unfortunate foul for this superstitious goalkeeper who always repeated the same gestures in the same order in the warm-up just before a game. "I wore the same knit under my match jersey since 1973, will admit the ephemeral doorman of the Blues. Moreover, this famous cap goal of Colombes will follow him for the rest of his career. A short stint at Paris FC and then a return without much success to OM, before honoring two seasons in sawtooth, in Saint-Dié, in the Vosges. He put away the gloves at the age of 32 in 1983 at Racing Club de Paris, much too early at the time when the goalkeepers reach maturity at that age. Surely consumed by this memory that has never passed. The doubt that devours neurons. The counter-performance from which he did not recover.
