## Playing career

Born in the [Hérault](/source/H%C3%A9rault) town of [Saint-Pons-de-Thomières](/source/Saint-Pons-de-Thomi%C3%A8res) on 5 October 1908, Dupont began his football career in a modest club based in the small town of [Bédarieux](/source/B%C3%A9darieux), from which he joined Montpellier in 1929, aged 21.[1]

Dupont with the Montpellier team in 1931.

Together with [Charles Cros](/source/Charles_Cros_(footballer)), [Roger Rolhion](/source/Roger_Rolhion) and the Temple brothers ([Jacques](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jacques_Temple&action=edit&redlink=1) and [Pierre](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pierre_Temple&action=edit&redlink=1)), he was a member of the Montpellier team that reached the [1931 Coupe de France final](/source/1931_Coupe_de_France_final), which ended in a 3–0 loss to [Club Français](/source/Club_Fran%C3%A7ais).[2][3] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper *L'Auto* (currently known as *[L'Équipe](/source/L'%C3%89quipe)*) stated that he "showed courage, but never shone; however, he marked [Émile Hennequin](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%C3%89mile_Hennequin&action=edit&redlink=1), who was not a difficult opponent".[4]

Dupont stayed at Montpellier for three years, from 1929 until 1932, when he moved [AS Béziers](/source/AS_B%C3%A9ziers_H%C3%A9rault_(football)). The following year, he joined Sète, whose new coach, [René Dedieu](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ren%C3%A9_Dedieu&action=edit&redlink=1), had known Dupont at SO Montpellier.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] In his first season at the club, Sète won the double, the [1933–34 French Division 1](/source/1933%E2%80%9334_French_Division_1) and the [1933–34 Coupe de France](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1933%E2%80%9334_Coupe_de_France&action=edit&redlink=1), beating [Olympique de Marseille](/source/Olympique_de_Marseille) 2–1 in the [final](/source/1934_Coupe_de_France_final).[5][6] The following day, the journalists of *L'Auto* stated that Dupont, who was involved in his team's second goal, "worked with heart, with his youth and enthusiasm being communicated to their partners and particularly to the forwards".[7] In 1938, he signed for [Revel](/source/US_Revel), the reigning champions of the [Ligue de Midi-Pyrénées](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ligue_de_Midi-Pyr%C3%A9n%C3%A9es&action=edit&redlink=1).[8]

## Later life and death

In 1973, having become an inspector and departmental director of youth and sport, Dupont wrote a historical book on FC Sète titled *La Mecque du football ou Mémoires d'un dauphin* ("The Mecca of Football or Memoirs of a Dauphin").[9]

Dupont died in [Valleraugue](/source/Valleraugue) on 5 May 1991, at the age of 82.[9]
