The white and sky blue of Marseille; the mantle of light turned tunic of Nessus.
Club reborn of dubious wealth and character. Tapie, the cash man; Cantona, the minot returned.
A phone call never made, precipitates a Mickey Rourke-inspired, expletive-laced tirade – ten months, banned; apology ignored.
Better than remembered, the hostility grew.
Earthquake charity on frozen pitch, turns rancourous – never substitute a Cantona – another incident of emblematic flaws brought public.
Indefensible; to Barça? No. Exile in the blood.
Characters and crooks, strange bedfellows indeed; a deal is reached, the elevator resent.
An unheralded spell nicely spent; hard work and professionalism respected, but not on the street. Hounded and cat-called.
The empty champion, first of career.
The two friends reunite; a shocking decision.
