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

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.
 
Funny thing was .... he was pretty quick , and just as i was beginning to think he wasn't a bad player , he just seemed to vanish into thin air!
 
He didn't come on against Palace, he was in our private box (got it for me dad who had cancer and City let me have it at a knock down £400), couldn't speak a word of English so why they had him on duty god knows.
 
Played on the right wing once/inside right as sub towards he Platt Lane in a league match. We were getting beat so it may have been the Dons match as stated.

A bit harsh calling him of what was seen of him, but it seems a trend on here to call past players shit if they have a funny name or you can't remember them.

In the Anelka deal he was valued at £3M with Anelka valued at £15M is what Keegan said. That is why some media reported it as £12M and some as £15M.
 
Thanks to mcfcstats...he made two appearances as a sub in 2001

I remember the Wimbledon game well but I can't remember him coming on!

That was a freak result in an excellent season!

That was Negoui (spelling) against Rotherham I think.

The man who Keegan called his "most exciting ever signing". Keegan very rarely signed an average player, either brilliant or total shite.
