    When Alexandre Villaplane was made captain of France in 1930, he said it was the happiest day of his life. He was a national hero, the most popular player in the country, and led France into the first ever World Cup in Uruguay in 1930. Fourteen years later he was executed, shot by a firing squad, having been condemned as a traitor and a war criminal.
