Here is a tough guy !
Jean Sebedio, born in the Pays Basque in 1890, enjoyed 9 caps between 1913 and 1923 (one of the few French international players to be selected both before and after WW1...) as prop or n°8... full stats here at scrum.com
His nickname was "The Sultan" ... there are plenty of colorful stories about how this gentleman was terrifying everybody on the pitch... especially referees...
This picture is actually a trade card from French retailer Felix Potin... same series as Henri Amand, portrayed a couple of years before...
