INFOThe last survivor of the Lille squad, champion of France and winner of the Coupe de France in 1946, Jean Lechantre was outside-inside left, this ultra-technical winger through whom most of the offensives arrived. Very fast player with great dribbling and good crosses from the flank for Jean Barrate. Although Lechantre himself was good scorer as well, with good shot and even some headers despite the short size. As a 12-year-old he joined Olympique Lille, where he remained for 18 years faithfully. In the long history of the French Cup only a handful of players who for five consecutive cup finals took part and three of them - also in the series - have won. Lechantre this achieved from 1945 to 1949, with his first and his last finals, each with a defeat (0:3 or 2:5) against Racing Paris ended. In 1949 he scored his only goal for the interim final 1:5. In 1946 Lechantre and Lille won the championship. With the OSC from 1948 to 1951 also achieved four consecutive runner-up spots. In 1952 moved Lechantre a few kilometers further to CO Roubaix-Tourcoing. The left wing then took the offer of AC Cambrai, to work as a coach. Jean Lechantre played between May 1947 and December 1949 three A-international caps for France. Even Pierre Lechantre, one of his sons graduated from a long career as a professional footballer, which began at Lille, and later - including 1999 to 2001 in Cameroon as a coach.
