Raymond Eugène Frémont (7 December 1890 – 17 August 1960) was a French footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Le Havre for over a decade, from 1914 until 1926. He also played one match for the French national team.
Playing career
Born on 7 December 1890 in the Seine-Maritime town of Croixdalle, Frémont joined the ranks of Le Havre AC in 1914, aged 24.[2][3] Two years later, he was a member of the Le Havre AC team that participated in the 1915–16 Coupe des Alliés, a knockout competition contested during the First World War, starting in the semifinals, which ended in a loss to the eventual champions Stade Rennais.[4]
Frémont eventually established himself as the team's starting goalkeeper, playing a crucial role in helping Le Havre win the 1919 USFSA Football Championship, beating Olympique de Marseille 4–1 in the final in May 1919.[5][6] The following year, Le Havre reached the 1920 Coupe de France final, but he did not play in the final, which they lost 2–1 to CA Paris.[7] He stayed at Le Havre for over a decade, from 1914 until 1926, when he retired at the age of 36.[2][3]
On 9 Mar 1919, the 28-year-old Frémont earned his first international cap for France in a friendly match against Belgium at Uccle on 9 March 1919, which was the country's first-ever match after the end of the First World War; he conceded two goals in a 2–2 draw.[2][3][8][9][10]
Death
Frémont died in Le Havre on 17 August 1960, at the age of 69.[8]
