Alban Moga
France international rugby union player
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alban Moga (1 May 1923 – 5 April 1983) was a French international rugby union player.
Born in Bordeaux, Moga was a lock forward and played his club rugby for CA Bègles, where he appeared alongside two of his brothers. He was a regular in the second row for France during the late 1940s and gained 22 caps, almost always in partnership with Robert Soro. His career included France's 1949 tour of Argentina.[1]
Moga had the municipal rugby ground in Martignas-sur-Jalle named after him. The home ground of Union Bordeaux Bègles, the Stade André Moga, is named after Moga's brother, who was a long time club administrator.[2]
In 1983, Moga died of a heart attack at the age of 59.[3]
