Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gérald Baticle (born 10 October 1969 in Amiens), is a former French football player and manager. Baticle started his pro-career in his native Picardie region at Amiens SC but quickly attracted the attention of Guy Roux who recruited him at AJ Auxerre. He played his first game in Ligue 1 on September 19, 1991 against FC Metz. In 1992/93, he was the UEFA Cup's top goalscorer as Auxerre reached the semi-finals where they were edged out by Borussia Dortmund after a penalty shootout. A year later, Baticle scored one of Auxerre's goal during the final of the French cup where the AJA defeated Montpellier HSC 3:0 to win its first national title. In 1994/95, Baticle had to face the concurrence of an emerging Lilian Laslandes for the sole striker post in Guy Roux's emblematic 4-3-3.
