Gustave Ernest Dubus (26 March 1910 – 9 December 1991) was a French footballer who played as a forward for FC Sète and the France national team in the early 1930s.
Club career Born on 26 March 1910 in the Oran Province port city of Arzew, Dubus trained at AS Saint-Eugène d'Alger before moving to Sète in 1929, where he soon joined the ranks of FC Sète. Together with Ivan Bek, Ivan Bek, and Louis Cazal, he was a member of the Sète team that won the Coupe de France in 1930, beating RC Paris 3–1 in the final. During the match, he scored a few seconds before half-time from a clever pass by Bek, but the linesman had earlier signaled Sète was offside, while all of his other shots were saved by RCP's goalkeeper André Tassin.
After leaving Racing in 1932, Dubus returned to his homeland, where he joined , with whom he played for three years, until 1935, when he retired.
International career On 23 February 1930, the 19-year-old Dubus made his international debut for France in a friendly match against Portugal in Porto, which ended in a 0–2 loss. The following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (the forerunner of L'Équipe) highlighted him as one of the French players who stood out. Two months later, on 13 April, he earned his second (and last) cap, scoring his side's only goal with a "half-volley from 3 meters" in a 1–6 loss to Belgium.
Death Dubus died in Montmorency, Val-d'Oise on 9 December 1991, at the age of 81.
