Stade de France, 3 May 2014: the goalkeeper, all 1.97m of him, kept Rennes out for the whole Breton derby as Guingamp won the Coupe de France final 2-0 in front of 80,000. That trophy came in the middle of 126 league games for Guingamp; he switched from France's youth sides to Mali in 2012, took bronze at the 2013 Nations Cup, and reached 19 caps before Troyes, Sivasspor and a long second act at Laval. Career record: club career at Le Mans, Olympique de Marseille, Valenciennes.
