Was he not born in 1943 ?

Guide Equipe 1964, 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975 - Mundial Football 1977

I checked once again these 9 sources, all of them say 1944, March the 4th

What was your source ?

My source :

webmaster FC Metz, Cazal's Book L'équipe de France, Football Equipe 1989, Le Guide Français et International de Football, Le Guide du Football 1997.

He was born in Beaune (Côte-d'Or). Maybe the best thing is doing a research in this town.

I sent an email to the Beaune city hall . The answer in a few days , I hope.

thanks guys, I'm looking forward for the news of his birthtown which could solve this problem.

I received the answer of his birth town

"Monsieur,

J'accuse réception de votre demande concernant la date de naissance de Monsieur André BETTA. Je vous confirme donc que ce dernier est bien né à Beaune le 4 mars 1944.

Je vous souhaite bonne réception de ces éléments.

Cordialement.

L'officier d'état civil délégué."

I think it's not necessary to translate all the message.
The problem is solved .

Wonderful, many thanks.
