Jean-Pierre La Placa (born 15 June 1973 in Geneva) is a Swiss former footballer played for a number of clubs in Switzerland and Belgium throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
Career
La Placa started his professional career at Lausanne Sports in 1990 and played over 100 games for the club before joining FC Sion in 1995. He spent just one season at Sion and signed for FC Basel in 1996. For Basel he had a total of 46 appearances scoring 9 goals, 32 in the Swiss Super League (6 goals), two in the Swiss Cup with one goal and 3 in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup scoring two goals.
In 1998 he moved to France's FC Toulouse. He played just one game at Toulouse and returned to Switzerland, later that year, with FC Aarau. In 2000 he signed for Belgian side R.A.E.C. Mons, where he spent the most prolific four years of his career. In 2004, he had an unsuccessful spell at K.V. Red Star Waasland, but he returned to Mons shortly after. His second spell at Mons was much shorter, as he spent only a year at the club this time, mostly on the bench. In 2005, he signed for Finns AC Allianssi but didn't see much first-team football there, either. The club folded after a match-fixing scandal involving Chinese-Belgian businessman Zheyun Ye, and R. Francs Borains acquired his services in 2006, before he headed to RACS Couillet in 2007, and then URS Centre in Summer 2008.
