Biography
editVery little is known about his life; Morillon was playing football for Red Star AC in 1908, when the USFSA selected him for the French B squad that competed in the football tournament of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, but withdrew at the last moment, which saved him from a humiliating 0–9 loss to Denmark.[2][3]
After the First World War, Morillon was one of the first players to revive the Red Star club.[4][5]
Having retired from football, Morillon took part in the 35th Bordeaux-Paris race in 1929.[6]
