Alfred Lagache

Alfred Lagache was a French professional three-cushion billiards player.

A number of players from France have won world championships in different disciplines of carom billiards, but Lagache has been the only Frenchman to ever win the UMB World Three-cushion Championship, taking the title in 1935 and again in 1937.

He also won the CEB European Three-cushion Championship in 1936, 1939, 1947 and 1949.
