Club career

Gérard began his career with hometown club Montpellier, remaining with the club during French football's transition to professionalism in 1932. Gérard stayed at Montpellier until 1934, signing for FC Sète in 1935. Gérard stayed with the club for one season, scoring eight goals in 26 league games. The following season, Gérard signed for Red Star, staying with the club for two seasons. In 1938, Gérard signed for CA Paris. Gérard stayed with the club until the suspension of French football in the 1939–40 season, due to the outbreak of World War II.[1][2]

International career

In 1932, Gérard became the third youngest player to be called up by France at the age of 17 and 11 months. His record stood until 2020, when Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga replaced him as the third youngest call-up in French history.[3] On 8 May 1932, Gérard made his debut for France in a 3–1 defeat against Scotland. On 19 March 1933, Gérard scored twice against Germany in a 3–3 draw in Berlin.[4]
