| Fabien Barthez |
Man Utd
Born: 6/28/71
Hometown: Lavelanet, France |
| The departure of Peter Schmeichel in the close season of 1999 had left a void that was not filled even though both Massimo Taibi and Mark Bosnich were both brought into Old Trafford.Barthez was captured as a high profile player who has a first class reputation in his native France.Hugely popular he has helped Monaco to achieve a second title in four years before coming to England while he has also played for Toulouse and Marseille.It was during his time with Marseille that Barthez became a real hero. He remained with the club even after they suffered the humiliation of relegation and helped them to regain their first division status.An agile and dominant keeper Barthez has emerged as the top goalkeeper in France, which was highlighted when he was an ever-present during his country's World Cup triumph of 98.He is the number one choice under France coach Roger Lemerre.The fans first impressions of Barthez at Old Trafford meant an instant rapport with a man who is a larger than life character and who instantly won over the respect of the supporters. |
