I remember the preparations for matches, we always felt very precise, very tense and at the same time very focused, he was a great goalkeeper.
We called him Bioman in the locker room because he was so unbeatable and impassable.
It is for these reasons that he went to Paris-SG.
He then returned to Le Havre where he was an important player, he served the club a lot.
The supporters of the club must be very sad today.

Other former teammates, such as Jamel Aït Ben Idir in Le Havre, continued the tribute.
