INFO:
Certainly one of the best French strikers of his generation, could achieve even more if he didn't insist playing in defence later in career. He was, what later will be known as, "Total Footballer". His athletic qualities (speed, jump) and his techniques make of him one of the best French specialists. Player with unusual defensive work at the time, but also great dribbler and scorer with good positioning and even passing range. He was fast, run 100 meters 11,1 seconds, played as winger and centre forward, later deeper in midfield and defence, whatever the team needed of him. In 1951 brought him the RC Paris, and Foix already put in his first season 11 goals. When Racing a year later in the was relegated second division, he found in the AS Saint- Étienne a new club. He was in 1954/55 with 17 hits fifth and 1955/56, with 20 point game gates even third best scorer. 1956 joined Jacques Foix to reigning French champions OGC Nice, where he played the next five years. In the first year on the Côte d' Azur, he brought it to the Cup semi-final. For this he won 1958/59 with the championship of Division 1 his first title, after the team after numerous disposals had experienced a sharp break. Foix contributed to the league title 18 hits and brought it so once again among the top ten scorers in the league. In the European Cup of Champions 1959/60, however, they met after wins against Shamrock Rovers and Fenerbahçe Istanbul in the quarter-finals - just like 1956/57 - eventual winners Real Madrid against whom it this time but at least won their home game, which until then had no French team had succeeded. In 1961, the Toulouse FC him under contract, but separated from the Foix after only one season in mid-table again. He returned to AS Saint- Étienne and changed for the first time in his pro career in the second division into which the club had just descended. And twelve months later ranked the club in the final table of the top division at the first place, again with nine Foix - goals. This title was decided by the now 33 -year-old to end his career. Already in the spring of 1949 won Jacques Foix with the A- youth national team in the Netherlands for the second time discharged European Junior Championship by a 4-1 playoff victory against the hosts. Between December 1953 and March 1956, he played seven A- international matches, he scored three goals. His most notable performance was obtained with the 3:1 friendly in October 1954 against the newly crowned world champions Germany. His last international match (against Austria) ended with a 3-1 win. He died in 2017.
