'''Dominique Claude Rocheteau''' (born 14 January 1955) is a French former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[winger (association football)|winger]]. A [[France national football team|French international]], he played in three [[FIFA World Cup]]s, scoring at least one goal in each of them, and was part of the team that won [[UEFA Euro 1984]]. At club level, he won four [[Ligue 1|Division 1]] titles, three [[Coupe de France|Coupes de France]] and played in the [[1976 European Cup Final]].

==Club career==
Born in [[Saintes, Charente-Maritime|Saintes]], [[Charente-Maritime]],<ref name="lequipe"/> Rocheteau began his professional career with [[AS Saint-Étienne]], when they were the most successful and popular football team in France. He was a sinuous and incisive outside right who was nicknamed l'''Ange Vert'' ("The Green Angel"). Injured, he played only the last eight minutes of the [[1976 European Cup Final]], which Saint-Étienne lost 1–0 to [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]]. He won three [[Ligue 1|Division 1]] titles (1974–1976) and one [[Coupe de France]] () with Saint-Étienne. He transferred to [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in 1980 with whom he won one Division 1 title (1986) and two Coupes de France (1982–1983). In 1987, he was transferred to [[Toulouse FC]], for whom he played two seasons before retiring in 1989.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

Asked in 2012 about his most memorable football moment, Rocheteau cited his 107th-minute decisive goal in the second leg of the [[1975–76 European Cup]] quarter-final against [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]]. Saint-Étienne had lost the first leg 2–0 but won the second leg 3–0 after extra-time. Dynamo Kyiv were the previous year's winners of the [[1974–75 European Cup Winners' Cup]].<ref>{{cite news|language=fr|url=https://www.letemps.ch/sport/2012/12/07/dominique-rocheteau-on-retrouve-valeurs|title=Dominique Rocheteau: "On a retrouvé des valeurs"|newspaper=[[Le Temps]]|date=7 December 2012|access-date=3 March 2016|archive-date=4 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180204000105/https://www.letemps.ch/sport/2012/12/07/dominique-rocheteau-on-retrouve-valeurs|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==International career==
With the [[France national football team]], Rocheteau won 49 caps from 1975 to 1986 and scored 15 goals. He played in three [[FIFA World Cup]]s, in [[1978 FIFA World Cup|1978]], [[1982 FIFA World Cup|1982]] and [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986]], and was part of the team that won [[UEFA Euro 1984]] (though Rocheteau missed the final due to injury).{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}

==Personal and later life==
Rocheteau grew up in [[Étaules, Charente-Maritime]] where his grandfather and father ran an [[Oyster farming|oyster farm]].

After his retirement, Rocheteau shortly became a sports agent, working for [[David Ginola]] and [[Reynald Pedros]]. In 2002, he became head of the National Ethics Committee of the [[French Football Federation]]. He joined the Saint-Étienne staff in 2010, and has since held various management positions in the club.<ref>{{cite web|language=fr |url=http://www.cahiersdufootball.net/article-rocheteau-l-ange-vain-3872 |title=Rocheteau, l'ange vain|access-date=3 March 2016}}</ref>

Away from football, Rocheteau has been noted for his [[far left]] views, and has been associated with the [[Revolutionary Communist League (France)|Ligue communiste révolutionnaire]] and [[Workers' Struggle|Lutte Ouvrière]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://livres.lexpress.fr/entretien.asp/idC=10044/idR=5/idTC=4/idG=0 |title=Bienvenue sur l'Express Livres |access-date=8 November 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061202055518/http://livres.lexpress.fr/entretien.asp/idC%3D10044/idR%3D5/idTC%3D4/idG%3D0 |archive-date=2 December 2006}}</ref> In 1995, he played a supporting fictional character in [[Maurice Pialat]]'s film ''[[Le Garçu]]'', starring [[Gérard Depardieu]].
