Eloi Hubert "Lo" La Chapelle (22 June 1888 – 23 July 1966) was a Dutch footballer who played as a goalkeeper for amateur side HVV Den Haag. He also earned one cap for the Dutch national side in 1907,[1] and participated at the 1908 Summer Olympics, winning a bronze medal.[2]
Biography
On 21 December 1907, the tall goalkeeper of the then reigning champions HVV from Den Haag earned his first cap for the Dutch national side in a friendly match against England amateurs at Darlington, as a last-minute substitution for first-choice goalkeeper Reinier Beeuwkes. La Chapelle conceded a resounding 12 goals on his international debut in a 2–12 defeat,[3] which still is the heaviest loss in the history of the Netherlands national team, making La Chapelle the goalkeeper who has conceded the most goals in a single Dutch international and also the one with the biggest average of goals conceded per game since he never earned any other cap.[4] The following year, he was part of the Dutch squad that contested the football tournament of the 1908 Olympics in London where the team won the bronze medal.[2] However, he was not awarded a bronze medal due to have not played.[2][4]
