Biography

[edit | edit source]
Prouvost (standing, second from right) with the US Tourquennoise team before the final of the 1910 USFSA French championship.

Very little is known about his life; Prouvost was playing football for US Tourquennoise in 1905, when he represented the Northern France team in the very first Paris-Nord match (an annual test match for the French national team), helping his side to a 4–1 win in 1905.[4] He played for the Nord team a further two times, first against Belgium in 1905, and then in the Paris-Nord match of 1906.[5] Three years later, the USFSA selected him for the French B squad that competed in the football tournament of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, but he did not play in any matches as France B was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Denmark (0–9).[2][3]

On 1 May 1910, Prouvost 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]

After the First World War, Prouvost moved to Monaco,[8] becoming the captain of the Monégasque FC as well as the delegated rapporteur of Monaco-Sports.[9]
