Was that the outside of the right foot finish bending to the corner? great finish!Loved the wee man when I was a kid.
I remember he scored a belter again England (?) at Euro 92 & we all tried to recreate it in the playground the next day.
What a player this dude was, Scored some belters.
I take it you are quite young.never heard of him

Marseille and Milan.Later 20s who did he play for
That was great.What a player this dude was, Scored some belters.
Did not not leave Marseille the summer before we played them?
Yeah, back then there wasn't much football never mind seeing foreign football on the telly and it all seemed so exotic and ten times as exciting as the exhausted non-stop diet of today.Always reminds me of the friday night scotsport with Jim White. They had a European round up and JPP was always banging goals in for Marseille.
I had a pair of his boots made by Patrick early 93, first time playing in them broke my leg and never worn again!A name I hadn’t heard for a good while but memories of getting a pair of boots with his signature on the side when I was about 12,they were made by a company called ligne 7 or something similar, anyone confirm.?
Strange thing is, even taking into account how good he was at the time, and he was exceptional, he probably wasnt even the top 10 of European strikers at that time, which is frankly, scary.
Remember watching Football Italia when showing Milan derby possibly 93 and as the coverage cut to the horse racing (Arc de Triomphe) he scored with a volley. Anyone confirm?Best right foot vollier in history, if that's a thing!
O'Neill-esqueTremendous player. But as others have said, shocking barnet!

Papin was one of my favourite players growing up, loved seeing highlights of him and Waddle on Saint and Greavsie.
I was just about to ask this. Wouldn't be much in it, but I'll go for Papin.Better volley-er of the ball: Papin or Mark Hughes?
Yeah, I remember that at the time too, and being really disappointed when it didn’t happen . . . a bit like the Gabriel Batistuta rumour around the same time.I always remember my Dad coming home from work saying the rumours were that Papin was signing for us. This went on for weeks
