International (31 caps)
Winger
Clubs : Chantilly, Red Star (1932-1938), RC Paris, Red Star (1939-1946), Angers, Stade Français. One of the best French footballers of the pre-war years. Tricky winger with a ability to turn defenders inside out, a real marvel for the public. Older Red Star supporters still recall his partnership with André Simonyi. He signed his first professional contract for the princely sum of 500 F in 1932, and from the outset was selected to represent the city of Paris, even winning the Kentish Challenge Trophy in 1934. Capped thirty one times for his country, he represented Continental Europe in a match against England in 1938. Eleven years as player of Red Star, he first left to play for Angers in 1946-7 alongside Simonyi before returning to Paris with Stade Français who had just merged with Red Star. Cup winner in 1942, he later received a runners-up medal in 1946. Through twelve years he represented his country, participating in two World Cups in 1934 and 1938 in France. In 1944, playing for France against Belgium he scored his last goal for his country in a brilliant win over England at Colombes in front of 60 000 spectators. Astons' father was English, so who knows, Alfred could even have represented England. International :
