Vincent Gasco (22 July 1907 – 5 December 1961) was a Spanish footballer who played as a defender for Sète in the early 1930s.
Career
Gasco joined the ranks of FC Sète at some point in the mid-1920s; for instance, in September 1927, he was playing for the club's reserve team, providing the assist for a consolation goal against a team from Ganges.[3]
Together with István Lukács, Ivan Bek, and Ali Benouna, he was a member of the Sète team that won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France in 1934, beating Olympique de Marseille 2–1 in the cup final.[4][5][6] The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the forerunner of L'Équipe) stated that Sète's backline, which consisted of Gasco and Englishman Joseph Hillier, had a "relatively easy task",[7] while those of Le Miroir des sports stated that both he and Hillier made worrying mistakes.[8]
After leaving Sète, Gasco joined Mulhouse, where he never really impressed, so he was then loaned to Olympique Alès in August 1936.[9]
