  • Puig Aubert, was debatably the greatest French rugby league footballer of all-time Over a sixteen year professional career he would play for Carcassonne, XIII Catalan, Celtic de Paris and Castelnaudary winning five French championships and four French cups along with representing the French national side on a total of forty-six occasions. His position of choice was at fullback and after his retirement in 1960 he would go on to coach Carcassonne and France along with becoming head French national selector for several years. Aubert was actually born Robert Aubert Puig, but when he signed as a teenager for Carcassonne, there were several other established players that shared the same surname that a local newspaper editor printed his name back-to-front to avoid confusion and it ending up sticking and he became the most famous of them all. His nickname "Pipette" was a reference to his smoking habits, which at several stages saw him smoking on the field. Quite famously in a game against Wigan, he actually caught the ball whilst holding a cigarette in his other hand. While he often had unusual habits for a sportsman, there was no denying his talent, he was a master at kicking in play and in overall attack he was both unorthodox and unpredictable. Aside from his playing skill, he developed a reputation based on his somewhat eccentric attitude or charismatic manner. He was known to not tackle a player if he believed it would demonstrate the fault of his team-mates for not previously making the tackle, a cause of some controversy during his career. The pinnacle of Aubert's career was on the 1951 tour of Australasia, when he played in twenty-five of France's twenty-nine matches, and scored a record 221 points. Puig-Aubert's performances in 1951 earned him his country's Champion of Champions title - the first time a footballer from any code had been so honoured. In 1988 he was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame.

Il commence par jouer au rugby à XV et devient champion de France en 1944 avec l'Union sportive arlequins perpignanais. La même année, il passe au rugby à XIII en signant pour l'AS Carcassonne XIII. Il marque profondément l'histoire de ce sport en étant le principal artisan de la tournée victorieuse de l'équipe de France en Australie en 1951. Considéré comme l'un des meilleurs buteurs de tous les temps, il est vice-champion du monde lors de la première coupe du monde qui a lieu en France en 1954. En club, il remporte le championnat de France de rugby à XIII à cinq reprises sous les couleurs de l'AS Carcassonne XIII et du XIII catalan. Puig-Aubert détient le record du nombre de points marqués en équipe de France de rugby à XIII. En 1951, il est désigné champion des champions français par le journal L'Équipe et devient durant cette décennie, l'un des sportifs les plus populaires de France en raison de ses performances sportives mais aussi de sa personnalité de bon vivant. En 1988, il est nommé chevalier de la Légion d'honneur et est introduit au temple de la renommée du rugby à XIII. Modèle:Sommaire
