No, I don’t think he fits some of the criteria Edit: yeah has never played for a German or Italian team
He isn’t French I thought it would be quite obvious after the French and German club questions. Here is another clue: Regarded as one of the best in the world in his position when in his prime (although maybe not by the English)
I was thinking Ribery, but got thrown by the French African question (okay, I misread it). Anyway laces, did you play in the PL?
