Gabriel Hanot (6 November 1889 – 10 August 1968) was a French footballer and journalist (the editor of L'Équipe). The European Cup – which became the UEFA Champions League – was the brainchild of Hanot, as was the Ballon d'Or, an award that honours the male player deemed to have performed the best over the previous year.[1]

Biography

He made 12 appearances for the France national football team, with his debut coming on 8 March 1908 against Switzerland. He was also part of France's squad for the football tournament at the 1908 Summer Olympics, but he did not play in any matches.[2] He made another 10 appearances for them up to World War I. After the war he played one more time for France, as captain against Belgium on 9 March 1919.[3]

Following an aviation accident he gave up football and became a journalist.[4] He is credited with introducing the professional championship in France, in 1932.[4]

Hanot and his colleague at L'Équipe Jacques Ferran were the prime movers behind getting the European Cup established.[5]
