Career
Born in Ajaccio on 10 October 1901, Subrini began his career at his hometown club SA Provençaux in 1916, aged 15, with whom he played for seven years, until 1923, when he joined Olympique de Marseille.[1] In the round of 32 of the 1923–24 Coupe de France, he scored a hat-trick in a 9–0 trashing of Scouts Gapençais.[2]
Together with Ernest Clère, Jean Boyer, and Jules Dewaquez, Subrini was a member of the OM team coached by Victor Gibson that won two Coupe de France titles in 1924 and 1926, assisting Édouard Crut for the opening goal of a 3–2 win over Sète in the former, and helping his side to a 4–1 win over Valentigney in the latter.[2][3][4][5] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper Le Miroir des sports stated that "the little Subrini was the wisest of them, and proved as useful in defense as Gallay was in attack".[6] He stayed at OM for four years, from 1923 to 1927, scoring a total of 11 goals in 46 official matches.[1]
