Full Biography
|Aimé Marius Ernest Durbec (13 September 1902 – 23 December 1991) was a French footballer who played as a defender for Olympique de Marseille and the French national team in the 1920s.
Playing career
Club career
Born in Ollioules on 13 September 1902, Durbec began his football career in 1922, aged 20, with Sporting Victor Hugo, where he quickly stood out from the rest, so he was signed by Olympique de Marseille in 1924.
Together with Ernest Clère, Jean Boyer, and Jules Dewaquez, Durbec was a member of the OM team coached by Victor Gibson that won back-to-back Coupe de France titles in 1926 and 1927, starting in both finals, beating Valentigney 4–1 in the former and Quevilly 3–0 in the latter. In the semifinals of the 1926 edition, he helped OM keep a clean-sheet in a 5–0 victory over Stade Français, with the local press stating that "Durbec proved to be outstanding attack breakers".
Durbec also helped OM win the 1929 French Amateur Championship, beating Club Français 3–2 in the final on 28 April, partly thanks to the decisive interventions of Durbec, who practiced a rapid and authoritarian method. He remained loyal to OM for seven years, from 1924 to 1931, scoring 4 goals in 111 official matches.
After leaving OM, Durbec played two seasons at both RC de France (1931–33) and Club Français (1933–35), where he retired in 1935, at the age of 33.
International career
On 12 June 1927, three months after his second Cuv victory, the 24-year-old Durbec earned his first (and only) international cap in a friendly match against Hungary in Budapest.
Death
Durbec died in Garches on 23 December 1991, at the age of 89.
