Henri Camille Moigneu (9 March 1887 – 14 March 1937) was a French footballer who played as a defender for US Tourquennoise between 1904 and 1914.[2][3][1][4]
Early life
[edit]Henri Moigneu was born in Morsain, Hauts-de-France, on 9 March 1887,[3][1] and just like his fellow future internationals Émile Sartorius, Adrien Filez, André François, and Gabriel Hanot, Moigneu was introduced to football at the Lycée de Tourcoing by an English teacher, Achille Beltette (1864–1932), who had founded the US Tourquennoise in May 1898.[5]
Playing career
[edit]Club career
[edit]
On 1 May 1910, Moigneu started in the final of the 1910 French Championship at the Parc des Princes, helping his side to a 7–2 win over SH de Marseille.[6] In the following year, on 29 April 1911, he started in the final of the Challenge International du Nord in Tourcoing, helping his side to a 2–1 win over the English club Cambridge Town.[7]
International career
[edit]On 7 May 1905, the 18-year-old Moigneu earned his first international cap against Belgium, which ended in a 0–7 loss.[3][1][4] He played a further seven matches for France, the last of which on 10 May 1908, against the Netherlands, which ended in a 1–4 loss.[3][1][4] Five months later, in October 1908, the USFSA selected him for the French squad that was going to compete in the football tournament of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, but Moigneu was unavailable due to military service.[8]
On 4 January 1914, Moigneu played for the so-called Lions des Flandres, a regional scratch team representing Northern France, in a friendly against the Paris football team; he scored the opening goal in an eventual 3–1 win.[9]
Later life
[edit]After the First World War, Moigneu moved to Monaco.[10]
