Salem Ben Miloud was born on January 1, 1921 in Mazagan, Morocco. He began his professional career at the age of 18 for the legendary club Wydad Casablanca. This was the club's first football season. He quickly caught the eye of a French club, Olympique de Marseille.

It was Larbi Ben Barek who advised the player to come to Europe. A powerful and determined defender, he established himself as one of the best players in his position, that of left back. In this position, he became a prominent figure for Olympique de Marseille and one of the best players in the country.

Gaining French nationality, he had the opportunity to play a match with the B team of the French national team. He won the only title of his career in 1948, the French championship. He then participated in maintaining his team in the elite of French football through the play-offs in 1952. He then reached the final of the Coupe de France in 1954.

It was in 1956 that his great adventure with the club from the south of France ended, he was the victim of a meniscus operation that bothered him and had to leave the club. Aged 35, he left for Thiers to quietly end his successful career.
