30 internationals for France 1954–64

Known universally as ‘Monsieur Le Drop’ because of his penchant for dropped goals, Albaladejo was also a very fine flyhalf.

Tall and stylish in the French style, Albaladejo made his debut as a fullback in 1954 against England. After one game in the Five Nations championship, and another against Italy, he was passed over by the selectors for five seasons.

Re-appearing in 1960, Albaladejo soon won a reputation as an expert drop-kicker. In his second international of that year, against Ireland, he thumped over three dropped goals, a feat unheard of at the time.

After his retirement, Albaladejo won acclaim in France as a television commentator, providing expert insights on the game all over the world, working first with the famous French broadcaster Roger Couderc and later with his replacement, Pierre Salviac.
