Jean Le Bidois (1898 – 13 March 1927) was a French footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and who was a member of the French squad that competed in the football tournament of the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, but he did not play in any matches.[1][2] He died as a result of a on-field incident in 1927.[3]
Playing career
[edit]Born in 1898,[2] Le Bidois was playing for Sotteville FC in 1920, when he was called up for the French squad that competed in the football tournament of the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, but he did not play in any matches.[1][2] In 1921, he moved to FEC Levallois, where his good performances earned him a call-up for the Paris-London match on 2 November 1921.[3]
While keeping goal for Stade Olympique de l'Est in a season-ending match of the Ligue Île-de-France, Le Bidois received a violent kick at his carotid from Aron Pollitz of US Suisse Paris, from which he succumbed in the locker room; the game was called off after the announcement of his death.[2][3][4][5]
