Pierre Bini


Pierre Bini was a French footballer from Laragne-Montéglin. He is the father of Bruno Bini.
He spent most of his career as a center half or right winger at Stade de Reims, where initially he was nicknamed Le chèvre because of his long legs, but soon became the darling of fans at Auguste-Delaune Stadium.
Bini played one season with the AS Saint-Etienne during the season 1951–1952 before ending his playing career due to multiple knee injuries.
Bini then developed a family business before entering politics, and was mayor of Laragne-Montéglin, Vice President of General Council of the Hautes-Alpes and a Regional Adviser. Today the stadium in his hometown is named Stade Pierre-Bini.
