Another newspaper print from that 1893 French rugby tour in England, portraying Frantz Reichel of Racing Club de France, proud captain of that team !

Doesn't he look formidable ?

Reichel was a journalist and a true sportsman, from tracks & fields to rugby, from boxing to aviation, from fencing to gymnastic...

He also took managerial responsibilities in the Olympic organisation and in the organisation of sports in France.

I will give more informations in a next post...
