Roger Marche was a French football defender. He was part of the French national team during the 1954 and 1958 World Cup tournaments. He was nicknamed Le Sanglier des Ardennes for the region from which he came. Marche, born in Villers-Semeuse, Ardennes, is one of the players with the most appearances in the French top division, having played 542 matches for the clubs Stade Reims and RC Paris. He was a member of the French national team from 1947 to 1959, and became the most-capped player ever for France with 63 international matches played, surpassing �tienne Mattler's previous record of 46 caps set in 1940.
