Yes..... Burnley lad Alick . Shame they didn't win the money. But nice that the town was put on the map.

The greatest Frenchman to have ever worn the Burnley shirt?

How many of those have there been? Very small sample size, I imagine.

Too bad my grandmother wasn't French. You could have included her, too

In her day job, the much loved " Madge ", of IanMcL match thread fame, is a French chanteuse...

Now that would be a sight to gladden the eyes !!! :P :P

Madge for the H/T draw! That would be something!
Not sure HolyCustard would permit such a deviation from her internet only work!

As for Jean-Louis, he was great to watch. Ran Liverpool ragged in a cup match and great free kick goal on the freezingly cold nights at Derby. Never been so cold!

If dressed in her usual attire, it should cut the half-time queues considerably !

She's a right tramp now.

Such a beautiful woman riddled with tattoos.

I think you are confusing our Madge...an animated gif, with that French bird Alizee! Easily done! You have to stick with reality you know! ;) :roll:

The disgusting tattoos are on show.

Lets's get shut and replace her with that Aussie sheila off the Trivago adverts.

She's got a bit of an Aussie accent but enough of one to make her completely annoying.

French women love their tattoos. Shame. Makes them look like common skanks.

My mates is a Hearts fan and loves JLV. Says he once got MOM in a game where another player scored four goals, or something.

He was a breath of fresh air for us at times when we were crying out for a bit of composure and skill on the ball having just had lost Blake. But he was also awful a lot of the time!

I remember him coming on as a substitute and Cotterill saying to him, " Jean Louis, no fancy f...kin flicks" - hilarious at the time.

It was a mention....but quite funny. There was a grid of around 16 peoples faces...all fashion designers. Alick who appeared to be a "fashion icon" himself couldn't name one of the 16, but said, "there is a guy that reminded him of an ex Burnley player "Jean Louis Valois".

So I guess that was his answer but it was more a mention.

Only a Burnley supporter would understand.

All of the Clyde supporters on this site would tell you how good JLV was.

"Tabernac". A mild expletive used mostly in Quebec, Canada.
