Henri Michel Salvano (22 August 1901 – 15 May 1964) was a French footballer who played as a forward for Blida and the French national team in the 1920s.
Henri Lesur was born in Blida, Algeria, on 22 August 1901, and he played most of his career at FC Blida, doing so between 1922 and 1919.[1][2] He helped his club win the North African Championship twice, in 1923 and 1929, as well as the Coupe Steeg in 1929.[1]
On 18 April 1926, the 25-year-old Salvano earned his first (and only) international cap for France in a friendly match against Portugal at Toulouse, in front of 16,000 spectators, helping his side to a 4–2 win.[3][1][2] He played the entire match as a starter, and scored the opening goal of the match in the 16th minute, a header following a cross from his club teammate, Georges Bonello.[4][5]
