Just found a wiki on him...says he was a forward/winger
looks like he managed to make a living out of the game

Didn't he get deep vein thrombosis from a coach trip to Portsmouth?

Yes DVT at pompey is correct,He went to Paris St Germain as part of the Anelka deal if my memory serves me rightly

I think he came on as a sub against Wimbledon or Palace at home in 2001-02.

He was very quick but that's all I remember of him. He played about 10 minutes so I wouldn't say any of us are in a position to call him gash.

Yeah, he came from the French League. Apparently if a game was more than a couple of hours drive away they used to fly in France, so when he got on the coach for the game at Pompey he was unaware quite how long the trip would be! He developed DVT (a condition he knew he was suseptible to) and never played for us again! He was a makeweight (a very light one!) in the Anelka deal and ended up at PSG.

Plays in the French 3rd division now for Paris FC and had a stint in the UAE.

Saw both those games - he was shocking. Made Van Blerk look like a good player.
