“JPP” above all marked the Memoirs from 1986 to 1992. Under the Olympian colors, the former striker now aged 61 finished top scorer in Ligue 1 during five seasons in a row (19 goals in 1988, 22 goals in 1989, 30 goals in 1990, 23 goals in 1991 and 27 goals in 1992). He also won four French champion titles (1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992).

Earlier in Thursday, the 1993 European Champions announced the presence of Brandao, Rod Fanni and the current institutional and sports advisor of the club, Fabrizio Ravanelli. With all these beautiful people, the party promises to be beautiful in Marseille.
