Jacques Fouroux
Jacques Fouroux (24 July 1947 – 17 December 2005) was a French rugby union player and coach. He captained France when they won the Grand Slam in 1977, and was the manager when the side repeated the feat in 1981 and 1987. Due to his small stature and strong personality, he was nicknamed "Le petit caporal" (lit. 'The Little Corporal'), a reference to Napoléon Bonaparte's nickname.
