Georges Eugène Moreel (22 July 1924 – 4 December 2003) was a French footballer who played as a forward for RC Paris and Olympique de Marseille between 1946 and 1954. He also played one match for the French national team in 1949.
Club career
[edit]Born on 22 July 1924 in the Hauts-de-Seine town of Gennevilliers, Moreel began his career at USA Clichy, similarly to other future internationals, such as Georges Stuttler, Ernest Vaast, and André Grillon.[2] After a brief stint at FEC Levallois, he joined CA Paris in 1945, but at the end of the season, he signed for RC Paris.[3]
Together with Lucien Leduc, Roger Quenolle, and Vaast, Moreel was a member of the RC Paris team that won the Coupe de France title in 1949, helping his side defeat Lille 5–2 in the final.[1][4] He was involved in his side's 5th goal as one of his shots was deflected by Lille's defender Joseph Jadrejak, which resulted in an own goal.[4][5] He stayed at RC Paris for six years, from 1946 until 1952, when he moved to Olympique de Marseille, where he retired in 1954, aged 30.[3][6] In total, he scored 94 goals in 200 Ligue 1 matches.[1]
International career
[edit]On 22 May 1949, two weeks after the Cup final, the 24-year-old Moreel earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly against England at Colombes, scoring the opening goal of the match in the 25th second, but then missing an easy opportunity as his side lost 3–1.[7][8] The following day, the journalists of French newspaper L'Auto (the forerunner of L'Équipe) stated that after his goal, he "fought valiantly until half-time, he gradually lost confidence".[8] As of 2021, Moreel still holds the record for the fastest goal scored for France by a debutant.[9]
Death
[edit]Moreel died in Argenteuil on 4 December 2003, at the age of 79.[7]
