During his long career as an amateur player, the player-coach of Beuzec (D1) Gérald Ansquer (39 years old) experienced great moments in the Coupe de France.
Like this 7th round contested under the “canary” jersey of Plouhinec (then in DSR) against Le Mans (D2) on November 20, 2011. That Sunday, the Capistes came away with a more than honorable defeat (0 -3) despite the six divisions difference. Gérald Ansquer played as a full-back in an eleven which also included two of his current teammates, goalkeeper Loïc Le Corre and striker Eric Dutin, without forgetting Erwan Le Beul, who did not appear on the match sheet. facing Le Mans.

A historic fourth round for the small Capiste club whose last appearance at this stage was in 1998. “There should be a lot of people coming, especially the 97-98 generation who will come with their jerseys from the era,” Gérald is already salivating Ansquer. But unfortunately for the one who was the hero of the qualification obtained in the third round at South Finistère Petit Poucet Baye La Morena (D3), it will be without him.
Author of a double that day, the Beuzec goal-scoring coach was injured at Baye just before the referee blew the final whistle.
“We have never done anything before in the Cup”
“I fought to have the “Coupe de France” jersey offered to the clubs qualified for the fourth round, but I will not be able to wear it.” Gérald Ansquer was to know this Thursday during the MRI whether he suffers from a total or partial rupture of the ligament, but his season as a player is already over.
Never mind. He prepared for this match carefully. “I feel that the group is motivated not to make mere appearances despite the value of the opponent. We have no pressure because we have already achieved our objective by qualifying for this 4th round. And we have never done anything before in the Coupe de France…”
