History

Three championships of North in 1911, 1913 and 1914, then the supreme title of champion of France (Trophy of France) in 1914 install the OL among the very large French clubs. The OL has a stage which can accommodate more than 5000 spectators. This enclosure is selected for the last France - Belgium before the First World War (4813 paying spectators). The day before the Great War, Lille does not align less than eight international French and a Belgian. The OL is then supported by two clubs of supporters, “Allez Lille” and “Bold the Mastiffs”, counting more than 2000 members. Often décrié as of before the Great War to have remunerated its players (the Buzza British, in particular), the club inhabitant of Lille is pinned with leaving the first world war. Henri Jooris is erased for two years…

Champion of North in 1921, it is then necessary to await 1929 and 1931 to see the OL reconquering the regional title. In January 1931, Henri Jooris is one of the most savage partisans of the professional statute, but one year later, its speech completely changed. President of the OL but also of the League of North, Henri Jooris feared the massive departure of northerner clubs out of the League which it chaired. Thus, the OL which was one of the first clubs has to require a professional statute desisted. Benefitting from this situation, the club of the Sporting club fivois decides to try its chance in the pros… and starts to discharge the best players of the OL. Henri Jooris leaves the presidential armchair inhabitant of Lille and lets his successor Gabriel Caullet accept the professional statute for the OL in order not to lose his leadership inhabitant of Lille with the profit of small Fives.

The OL finishes first of the group has first professional championship of France and finally faces the ACE Cannes national in Paris in front of more than 12.000 spectators, including 600 supporters inhabitant of Lille. The two formations are found with equality 3-3 to five minutes of the final whistle; Winckelmans then marks the goal which gives the title to the Mastiffs.

The following seasons are more delicate with a beautiful second place in 1936 behind the RC Paris. In Coupe de France, the final is finalist in 1939, but is inclined vis-a-vis the Parisian ones of Racing.

The year 1940 is particularly painful for the club which stops its activities, war obliges. Moreover, president Caullet falls to the fields from honor while Henri Jooris dies following a long illness.

The club takes again its activities in 1941 by amalgamating with the Iris Club Inhabitant of Lille the May 25th 1941 in order to form the O.I.C. Lille. It is under this name that the club disputes the seasons 1941 - 1942 and 1942 - 1943. In spring 1943, the first tractactions take place with SC Fives to amalgamate the clubs. The mode of Vichy indeed prohibits the clubs to have a professional section in 1943, and all the French clubs are found on the level amateur. After this funny of season 1943-1944 where the best players inhabitant of Lille play under the colors of the federal team Lille-Flandres, fusion between the OL and the SC Fives takes place finally the September 23rd 1944 under the name of " Lillois" stage;. This name being judged " too much anonym" by the Inhabitants of Lille, the " term; Olympique" is reintroduced in the name of the club a few weeks later: Olympic Lille Sporting Club.
