Defence-MindedINFO:Gifted and conscientious, served by his large size and his desire to progress, Tempet was a goalkeeper with good reaction and excellent catching skills, with a specialty on high balls. His sense of anticipation and foresight have made him a great goalkeeper. Liked to go into the legs of an attacker, he's a sillhouette of Bertrand Demanes and his style of play. He knows how to remain calm and efficient even in in the hottest moments. A goalkeeper who knows how to command, which allowed him to impose himself. 871st place in the top 1000 players in French D1.
Jean-Pierre Tempet started playing football at the Racing Club de Doullens in the cadet team when he was still the youngest. He steadily climbed the sporting ladder and started in the first team for the last match of the 1973-1974 season during a match in Nîmes. During a match, he was seriously injured in the knee by an opponent and did not play again for two years. Returning to his best level, he took over from André Lannoy at the end of the 1976 season. The following year, he shared the goals with Dominique Leclercq and at the end of the season, the Lensois finished runners-up of France behind AS Saint-Étienne. The following season, he made a fine run in the UEFA Cup with the "Blood and Gold", notably during a memorable victory against Lazio in Rome (0-2, 6-0 a.p.). He then had his first selection for the France B team on October 7, 1977. In a match between French hopefuls and B internationals, he came into play at half-time replacing Philippe Bergeroo. RC Lens then recruited a new goalkeeper, Francis Hédoire and Jean-Pierre Tempet, pushed towards the exit, left the club. He was then loaned to FC Nantes as Jean-Paul Bertrand-Demanes' understudy but the return from injury of Jean-Marc Desrousseaux, the second goalkeeper, led to his transfer to Stade Lavallois in October 1978.
After a season of adaptation where he competed with Jacques Rose, he established himself as goalkeeper and became one of the best French goalkeepers. Stade Lavallois then played the leading roles in the championship and finished 5th in 1982 and 1983. It was then selected again for the France B team, on April 27, 1982, for a friendly match against the Luxembourg team (1-0). Tempet's good performances attracted the attention of the national coach, Michel Hidalgo, who was looking for an indisputable starter after the lackluster performances of Jean-Luc Ettori and Jean Castaneda at the 1982 World Cup. He launched him into the team. France in a friendly match on November 10, 1982 against the Netherlands (2-1 away victory). Hidalgo warns him, however, that the future holder of the position will be Joël Bats, as soon as he has finished playing the qualifiers for the European U20 Championship. Tempet, the free spirit, spent the rest of the 1982-83 international season as a starter in the French goal.
At the end of his contract with the “Tangos”, Jean-Pierre Tempet then joined RC Lens with whom he had a good start to the season, once again reaching the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup. He was called up one last time in the tricolor jersey as a replacement for Joël Bats, on October 5, 1983, for a France-Spain taking place at the Parc des Princes (1-1). RC Lens experienced a decline in performance after its European epic and finished in 13th place in the championship with the 19th defense and Tempet was not spared from criticism. At the same time, his competitors Philippe Bergeroo and Albert Rust had excellent seasons and it was they who were called by Michel Hidalgo to support Bats at Euro 84, during which the “Blues” won their first major title.
Jean-Pierre Tempet, pushed towards the exit by the Lensois leaders and the emergence of Gaëtan Huard, then joined FC Mulhouse in division 2. The club finished second in group A in 1985 and lost at the level of the accession play-offs. in Division 1 against Stade Rennes (5-2 in the two matches). The following season, the Mulhousiens also finished 2nd in group B and in the play-off failed to win against the 18th in division 1, AS Nancy (2-3 over the two matches). Jean-Pierre Tempet and his teammates lost once again in the play-offs the following season and he left the club to join US Valenciennes-Anzin, another division 2 player. After two seasons in the middle of the ranking, the USVA attempted to climb during the 1989-1990 season. The club is also qualified for the 7th finals of the French Cup where it finds itself opposed to AS Saint-Étienne, division 1 club. While the score is 1-1, Tempet comes out ahead of Philippe Tibeuf and in the shock, he sprained his knee with ruptured ligament and cracked femur, synonymous with the end of his career.
