'''Bernard Bosquier''' (born 19 June 1942) is a [[List of France men's international footballers|French former international footballer]] who played as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]].

==Career==
Bosquier came up from [[Olympique Alès]], and signed with [[FC Sochaux-Montbéliard]] in 1961, where he became an excellent defender playing at [[Defender (association football)#Full back|right back]] before moving to [[Defender (association football)|centre back]] later at [[Olympique Marseille]].

He quickly earned his first cap for [[France national football team|France]] on 2 December 1964, aged 22, against [[Belgium national football team|Belgium]]. He was then part of [[France national football team|France]] squad at the [[FIFA World Cup 1966]] in England playing in all France's games.

Coming back from the World Cup he signed with [[AS Saint-Étienne]], where he won his first titles and was widely regarded as the best French footballer of the 1960s, winning the French player of the year award in 1967 & 1968.

He surprisingly left [[Forez]] for [[Olympique Marseille]] along with [[Goalkeeper (football)|goalkeeper]] [[Georges Carnus]] in 1971 winning the "double" with [[Olympique Marseille]] in his first season.  He finished his football career at [[FC Martigues]] eventually making 354 appearances in 11 seasons. His goalscoring record of 43 goals in very good for a defender and was helped by his great free-kick prowess.

He had then a short career of sport director and discovered talented players such as [[Grégory Coupet]] or [[Ľubomír Moravčík]] when he worked for [[AS Saint-Étienne]]. He currently organises coaching for young footballers.
