Beginnings

The 1 {{er}} October 1881 is created the Société of gymnastics and shooting of Of Gironde the , general sports club at the origin of Of Gironde of Bordeaux. This club, chaired by Andre Chavois and domiciled street Sanche de Pomiers beside the market of the Capuchins, includes/understands various sections: equestrian tackles, swimming, oar, race on foot, sports and fencing. It is only in 1910, under the pressure of Raymond Brard, that a section Football is born within the SGTG. This test lasts only one season but begins again in 1919. After fusions with other clubs of sports, change of room and removal street Henri IV, the section football of the Of Gironde Guyenne Sport account twenty-four bachelors. The Of Gironde ones amalgamate a few weeks later with the Argus Sport which transmits to Of Gironde its colors Marine and White. The number of bachelors of the section football passes then to 70. The players dispute their first official match in 1920 (defeat 12 to 0 against the Burdigalienne Section).

Before the Of Gironde ones do not reach the professional statute, Bordeaux counted two professional clubs located Right Bank of the the Garonne: Sporting Club of Bastidienne and Spanish the Deportivo Club of Bordeaux. Their candidature having been accepted on June 28th, 1933, they evolve/move in the Southern group of D2 and their classification is respectively fourth and seventh (on eight) for Deportivo and Bastidienne. The clubs are constrained, on order of the Federation, to amalgamate in 1934-1935 in the name of the principle " a city, a club" and form the FC Hispano-Bastidienne. The new club finishes fourteenth and the last of single hen of D2. This union against-nature lasts only one season and Bordeaux remains orphan of a professional club during two seasons.

July 2nd, 1936, Of Gironde Guyenne Sport amalgamates with the Bordeaux FC and the statutes of the new sports association, Girondins of Bordeaux Football Club , are deposited in prefecture on October 17th 1936. The Of Gironde ones present their candidature for the professional statute and integrate the group B of the second division the following season (1937/1938).

Professionalisation

Champion of France Amateurs in 1937 thanks to a victory on May 23rd, 1937 at the Stage of Doves vis-a-vis Football Club of Scionzier 2 Goal S to 1, the Of Gironde ones reach then the professional statute, inaugurated on June 12th at the time of the World cup 1938. At the beginning of their second season in the second division, the Of Gironde ones raise for the first time a shirt with a scapular, then very with the mode on the shirts of the teams.

October 15th, 1940, the Of Gironde ones amalgamate with the Sports association of the Port and the shirt consequently decorates Ancre of navy at the base of the scapular, “social” fusion more that sporting. Indeed, whereas France is plunged into full Second world war by enlisting the sportsmen with Of Gironde in the body of the firemen with the Port with Bordeaux, Brard avoids to them being off-set within the framework of the Service of obligatory work or by the Organization Todt for the construction of the Atlantic Wall.

The Girondins A.S.P. (new denomination following fusion) gain their first Coupe de France in 1941. Because of the geopolitics of the time, this cut disputes in several finales. Bordeaux eliminates the Red Star (occupied France) with the Parc from the Princes on April 13rd (3-1), Toulouse (free zone) on the same score then with Saint-Ouen the club of the suburbs inhabitant of Lille, SC Fives (closed area) 2 to 0, two goals of Santiago Urtizberea. It will be necessary to wait forty-five years to see the players with the scapular again raising the Cut after six finales lost meanwhile. At the time of the match against Red Star, Charles Rigoulot, haltérophile, “the man most extremely in the world”, gives the kickoff. The trainer André Gerard is one of the large craftsmen of this title. Under its control, Bordeaux muscle its play and becomes “the impregnable fortress”. Among the attackers, three names are detached: De Harder, Kargu and Libar, better strikers of the team. The Of Gironde ones dispute the Latin Coupe then 1950 which opposes the champions of France, of Spain, Italy and of the Portugal. The qualified teams are respectively the Atlético of Madrid, the Lazio Rome and the Benfica Lisbon. The final against Benfica disputed with Lisbon must be rejouée following a tie 2-2 and Bordeaux is inclined at the time of the second match which will last 2 hours and 25 minutes.

Thus, the club fails finally three resumptions of the cut of France: against Lyon in 1964, against Saint-Etienne in 1968 and finally against Marseilles in 1969.

The Bez era

Any exchange with the arrival with the presidency of Claude Bez in 1979. With blows of million, this one recruits a plethora of international of which Lacombe, Sahnoun or Gemmrich and made of Bordeaux, on paper, a credible rival of large clubs like Nantes, Saint-Etienne, or Strasbourg which is then the tenors of French football.

The season 1979-80 lack of little to turn to the disaster: after a catastrophic beginning of the season, the of Gironde ones are then relégables after thirteen days under the ineffective cane of the Argentinian trainer Luis Carniglia, Claude Bez engages for a “measuring rod” nine months Raymond Goethals, haloed its European successes with Anderlecht. The Of Gironde ones rectify the bar and finish sixth, turning with Goethals at the same rate/rhythm as the Nantes champion in spite of the tragedy death of Omar Sahnoun of an heart attack at the time of the drive in April 1980. It was then 25 years old and dies a few months before the birth of his son Nicolas, future player of the Of Gironde ones

Thus armed, the Of Gironde ones miss little the European dedication by twice, failing of a breath in semi-final of the Coupe of the Champions in 1985 vis-a-vis the Juventus of Michel Platini. The Of Gironde ones then lose 3 goals with 0 with the Stadio Delle Alpi of the Juve and are obliged to leave the big game for the arrival the Italian team. Müller then Battiston will mark for the Of Bordeaux one but in spite of the support of: 40211 spectators, record of multitude for the Park Lescure, the iItaliens beat with final the Of Gironde ones on the cumulated score from 3 to 2.

Revival

The increase is immediate (Champion of D2) and the Of Gironde ones, supported by a series of solid partners (Alain Afflelou then M6), are restored quickly on a good level, frequently finding Europe with a very beautiful performance in 1995-96.

The season starts early for the Of Gironde ones with the cut Intertoto beginning on July 1st. As much this season, the Of Gironde ones will cross all the stages one by one of Intertoto then of the cut UEFA for finally arriving finally, as much from the national point of view of, the assessment is average for the team trained at the beginning of season by Slavo Muslin, the team finishes 16th at some small points of the first relégable. One of the strong moment of the season is held on March 19th at the time of the return match against the Milan AC. The Milaneses being imposed on their premises at the time it match outward journey on the score from 2 to 0, they are largely favorite for the qualification in semi-final. But the Of Bordeaux one directed by Gernot Rohr and carried out by Christophe Dugarry, Bixente Lizarazu and Zinedine Zidane finally will reverse the vapor to gain the return match 3 to 0. Thereafter, they also beat the Slavia Prague but fall at the time of the finale against the Bayern of Munich. Following this defeat, the Of Gironde ones will gently finish the season and of many departures are to be regretted at the time of the intersaison. Thus, among the players having played the final of the cut of the UEFA, Lizarazu, Zidane, Dugarry, Huard, Dogon, Friis Hansen, Witschge, Lucas, Dutuel and Bancarel all will leave the club and it does not remain whereas Tholot, Grenet and Croci as bases to rebuild the Of Gironde ones.

1999 is also a strong moment of the Années 1990 for the Of Gironde ones. The team which begins the season 1998-99 is directed by Élie Baup and will fight all the season for the first place with the Olympique of Marseilles. For the last day of the championship, the two teams are to 69 and 68 points with the advantage for the Of Gironde ones. The OM moves with Nantes while the Of Bordeaux one must bring back the victory of the Parc of the Princes of Paris. Whereas the OM opens the score with the 38e minute by Robert Pirès, Bordelais and Parisian are with equality 2 goals everywhere when Baup makes return Pascal Feindouno, which will come to beat Bernard Lama with the 89e minute, offering the first title in twelve seasons to Girondins.^,

In 2002, the Of Gironde ones also will bring back a new cut from Paris to the Château Bel Air of the Haillan: the cut of the League that they gain with the Stade de France against FC Lorient on the score of 3 goals with 0 of which the third of Pauleta, arrived one year earlier, in turned over lifting on a center to the blind man of Christophe Dugarry. Pauleta also marked the first while the second goal was marked by Camel Meriem.

After a two years phase difficult, the Of Gironde ones join again with the victories during the season 2005-06 by finishing second of the Ligue 1 behind the ogre whom the Olympique Lyonese represents. The of Bordeaux one find the Ligue of the Champions (their second European participation in the competition-headlight since the season 1999-2000) after two years of absence out of cut of Europe. This surprised increase is due to the change of trainer (Ricardo replaces Pavon) and to discrete but excel recruitment of intersaison during the summer 2005. The leaders of Gironde plunged themselves in the transfers: they want to keep all manpower, which appears difficult… International French (and ex-Of Bordeaux) Johan Micoud, coming from the Werder of Bremen is recruited. But the financial weakness of Bordeaux in modern football, with a budget which borders only the 42 million euros, limits the ambitions.

After a season 2006-07 mitigated in championship and League of the Champions, where it could not pass the first turn, the team of Of Gironde joins again with success while gaining, on March 31st, 2007, the Coupe of the league for the second time of its history against the Olympique Lyonese thanks to a goal of the defender Henrique over a corner of Micoud to the 89e minute of the meeting. It is the first trophy of Bordeaux since 2002 and it enables them to ensure the qualification for the UEFA Cup for the season 2007-08.

It is necessary to await the end of the season 1995-96 and the epopee of Of Gironde in UEFA (carried out with a shirt to marine vertical stripes and Bordeaux wine without scapular) to see the colors marine and white reappearing.

Since, the Of Gironde ones play in residence with a whole with dominant marinades and details white and colors reversed at the time of the matches outside. For a few years, the direction of the club has left with a commercial aim a third shirt (shirt third ) for certain special occasions. Décriés by the supporters, these shirts are not with the traditional colors of the team but answer creative and commercial waitings especially. Thus, the shirt third of Bordeaux was color green khaki during two seasons, gray, or Bordeaux wine and marine. In 2007-08, the shirt will be color Or and navy blue.
