Maurice Baudier

After the War ended in 1918, Baudier joined the ranks of CA Paris, and even though he was small for a goalkeeper (1,61 meters), he made up for it with his exceptional agility and sharp reflexes, being especially effective on low shots close to the ground. Together with Marcel Vanco, Louis Mesnier, and Henri Bard, he was a member of the CA Paris team that won the Coupe de France in 1920, starting in the semifinals against VGA Médoc on 11 April 1920, in which he allowed the opponents to equalize after "receiving the ball badly" in an eventual 2–1 win. It was perhaps because of this mistake that he did not start in the final against Le Havre on 9 May, being replaced by the Swiss Ivan Dreyfus.

Baudier earned all of his three international caps for France within 30 days, from 8 February to 6 March 1921, in friendly matches against Ireland, Italy, and Belgium, all of which ending in losses with a total of 7 goals conceded.

Born in Avallon, Yonne, on 22 July 1897, Baudier fought in the First World War and received the War cross for his courage. In 1917, at the age of 20, Baudier was poisoned by trench gas and was 20% disabled in the lungs.
