| Footballer, born in Gassin, near St Tropez, SW France. He played for Paris St Germain, moving to the UK to join Newcastle United (1995), Tottenham Hotspur (1997), Aston Villa (2000), and Everton (2002). He had won 15 caps for France, and in 1994 was voted French Footballer of the Year, but he lost his place in the national team after France failed to qualify in the 1994 World Cup. In 1998 he highlighted the international campaign against land mines by retracing the tour of an Angolan minefield previously undertaken by Princess Diana. |
