Former Olympique de Marseille player, Joey Barton was present in the aisles of Falmer Stadium to watch the clash between Brighton and OM.
Joey Barton has been in the news a lot in recent days. Blame it on his publications on social networks. After publishing sexist and mysoristic tweets, the former England international announced his retirement from football due to the corruption and pedophilia that reign there.
But Thursday evening, it was a message of love that he published, just after attending the meeting between Brighton and OM among the Marseille supporters. “I just came back from the match against OM. This is not the result we wanted. I can’t thank the 1987 South Winners enough for looking after us. A real club. See you soon at the Vélodrome. Forza OM! “, he wrote.
Just heading home from OM game. Not the result we wanted.
Cannot thank @Winners1987 enough for looking after us.
Cassius leading the Ultras songs from down the front. 💙
Some club. @OM_Officiel
See you all in the Velodrome soon.
Forza OM 💪
