Surely the most hysterical player ever on our books. What was Keegan thinking of? I'll start us off - debut (?) at Portsmouth in a 1-2 defeat - gets the ball and passes it with studied care into an area where there are absolutely no city players - a bit like a FIFA video game player pointed in the wrong direction might do. That was back in 2001. He kept popping up in the weirdest cameos for years and years afterwards.

Remember him crunching a couple of players on his debut I think, thoguh I think they touted him as being another Patrick Vieira at first. Also remember keegan not being happy with the handball
There was a big thing on this forum at the time called 'forward with negouai'

Keegan's "most exciting" player that he signed. That was after we got Anelka, Ali, Berkovic.
Poor KK, when he got it wrong, it was very wrong.

Wasn't he the one whose 'career' went: Gets a knee problem, disregards advice from medical staff, gets treatment back in France from his chosen 'medical staff', they ruin his other knee. YCMIU.
What's he at now, I wonder?

I remember being in that Greek restaurant at the bottom of Deansgate (can't remember name) and City were playing some pre-season friendly before the first season at COMS and there he was - having recovered from his first injury probs - restored to the line up (seem to remember the game being on TV for some reason). He was enormously tall. And bald.

My main memory of him was seeing him in Didsbury Co-Op all the time.
