Biography

Early life

Bérot hails from the town of Dax and was a product of hometown club US Dax.[1]

Career

A Stade Toulousain and US Dax fly-half, Bérot was capped 21 times for France, debuting against the All Blacks at Eden Park on the 1968 southern hemisphere tour. He also toured South Africa in 1971, then Australia once more the following year. In France's 1974 Five Nations match against Ireland, Bérot scored the match-winning penalty in injury time, a difficult kick from over 40 yards out on an angle to the right, but still lost his place for the next match and wasn't capped again.[2][3]
