Jacques "Jacky" Laposte (born 24 March 1952) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He spent his entire senior career at Paris Saint-Germain.
Laposte began his career in his hometown club of La Gauloise de Trinité in La Trinité, Martinique. In 1972, he and fellow Trinitaire Christian André joined Paris Saint-Germain, then in the Division 3. He helped the club gain successive promotions to the Division 1, notably scoring a 25-meter volley in a 6–1 win over Arles on 12 May 1974 in the Division 2.[1][2]
In 1977, Laposte suffered a serious knee injury, which sidelined him for the entirety of the 1977–78 season.[3] He left PSG in 1979, having scored 17 goals in 175 appearances, and subsequently retired.[4]
While at Paris Saint-Germain, Laposte became a U21 international for France.[3] He went on to play for the France Military team as well.[5]
After retiring, Laposte returned to Martinique, where he became a hospital worker.[5]
