Jacques "Jacky" Laposte (born 24 March 1952) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He spent his entire senior career at Paris Saint-Germain.

Club career

Laposte began his career in his hometown club of La Gauloise de Trinité in La Trinité, Martinique. In 1972, he and fellow Trinitaire Christian André joined Paris Saint-Germain, then in the Division 3. He helped the club gain successive promotions to the Division 1, notably scoring a 25-meter volley in a 6–1 win over Arles on 12 May 1974 in the Division 2.

In 1977, Laposte suffered a serious knee injury, which sidelined him for the entirety of the 1977–78 season. He left PSG in 1979, having scored 17 goals in 175 appearances, and subsequently retired.

International career

While at Paris Saint-Germain, Laposte became a U21 international for France. He went on to play for the France Military team as well.

After football

After retiring, Laposte returned to Martinique, where he became a hospital worker.
