Chris Waddle, the former OM legend, is preparing to put on his crampons again.
This is news that no one expected! Chris Waddle, the former Olympique de Marseille wisp, will return to the field. He will do it at 63, and nine years after his last experience as a player.
Waddle will put on his crampons again
OM supporters can be reassured. It is not under their colors that the former England international will play again. He will do it with his favorite club FC Hallam. This is the one where he finished his journey. The team performs in 9e English division and is currently in need of reinforcements due to a cascade of injuries. The information was disclosed by Alan Biggs of TalkSPORT.
Waddle, a semi-finalist at the 1990 World Cup, had previously worked as a radio consultant. He was a BBC employee and commentator on Premier League matches for several years.
As a reminder, the English winger with the mullet cut stayed on the banks of the Canebière between 1989 and 1992. He distinguished himself there by scoring 29 goals in 149 matches but also and above all by his confusing dribbles on his flank. In 1991, he was part of the team that reached the Champions Cup final (losing to Red Star Belgrade on penalties).
