The 1900 Coupe Manier was the 5th tournament of the Coupe Manier, a French national football cup restricted to clubs fielding no more than three foreign players.[1]

The competition was held in a knock-out format on the road between 14 October and 23 December, and it was contested by 6 Parisian clubs, being won by Club Français after beating UA I arrondissement 1–0 in the final at Joinville-le-Pont, who thus won its fifth title in the competition.

Tournament

[edit]

The six participants were Nationale de Saint-Mandé, Club Français, AS Française, Gallia Club, UA I arrondissement, and Paris Star, whose president, Mr. Manier, had created the competition in 1897. Due to being the founders of the tournament, Paris Star received a bye to the semifinals, just as Club Français, who got the bye due to being the reigning champions of the Championnat de Paris [fr]. In the preliminary rounds, which were held on 14 October, UA I arrondissement trashed Gallia 7–1, while Saint-Mandé defeated AS Française 4–1.[2]

In the semifinals, which were held the following week on 21 October, UA I arrondissement defeated Paris Star in a thrilling 4–3 clash.[3] Club Français was at the peak of its golden age which won two consecutive Paris Championships in 1899 and 1900, but Saint-Mandé strongly contested their bid for supremacy and managed to hold them to a goalless draw,[3] which forced a replay that was played two months later on 16 December, in which Club Français confirmed their favoritism with a 4–0 win.[4]

The final begins an hour late, the Association Football Commission having forgotten to appoint a referee. Fortunately, the Club Français player Jack Wood, who was used to refereeing, offered himself up to the task. The French Club won 1–0 in a match that ended in the growing darkness. Lucien Huteau, usually the goalkeeper, played the second half as a right winger due to the absence of Laisné, which means that Club Français played the entire first half with ten players before Weber came into play as a goalkeeper.[5]
