Le Foot: a

a - e

Auxerre.
Described by Jean-Philippe Rethacker in Le Foot as 'The Ultimate Youth Academy':
This is the place which trained Cantona, Boli, Ferreri and other French and overseas internationals from Martini to Diomede, via Vahirua, Prunier, Charbonnier, West and Goma, and where the pros of tomorrow will continue to flourish.
The official club site is at www.aja.tm.fr. (in French).

Barthez, Fabien.
Les Bleus' goalkeeper for both the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 winning sides, profiled in Le Foot by Paquita Paquin:
As a goalkeeper, the way he moves inspires great respect. He'll turn aside balls that have the most tortuous of trajectories, but that doesn't mean you'll see him indulging in acrobatic feats spreadeagled between the posts.
He has his own site at www.fabienbarthez.net (in French).

Cantona, Eric.
Former Auxerre, Martigues, Olympique Marseille, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Nimes, Leeds United and Manchester United player, profiled in Le Foot by Ian Ridley:
The then Arsenal manager George Graham described him as 'a cry baby who would let you down at the highest level'. And one suspects that Howard Wilkinson believed something similar after seeing Cantona flounder against Stuttgart in a European Cup tie.

Desailly, Marcel.
Chelsea defender, and one of the key members of the World Cup and Euro 2000 winning French national sides, profiled by Charlie Hall:
Marcel Desailly, tallest man on the pitch. Legs like a super-model. Wouldn't say he's giving it 100 per cent but he never lets the attack get through, and if that happens there's always another Blue in the way.

Emerald Green Aliens.
Tam Dean Burn's portrait of life at Hibs, home of former Marseille star Franck Sauzee:
What's all this got to do with big Franck Sauzee? Well, I didn't get up and sing for him or give him a lesson in Irish politics, but much of what he told me did seem socialist in content, even if he didn't term it as such.
