Born into a family of farmers Vautrot wasn't astrong boy. He even lost a year of school because of heart problems. When at 14 he heard someone remark about the importance of a referee he knew what he wanted to be. A year later he already refereed a few matches in a local tournament. In 1963 he was officially a referee and before he became professional he worked for the sports section of a newspaper.
He was an international referee from 1975 till the end of 1991.
but
he resigned from football and refereeing commissions in 2003 because of the (smallish in comparison) "affaire de portables" scandal. See Stephane Bre for more information.
