Jean Louis Valois....

[StuffyClaret]

....just got mentioned TWICE on Pointless!

[turfytopper]

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

[ontario claret]

He should have stayed at Clyde.

[Inchysince93]

Great thread. Still a legend to me and my friends.

[IndigoLake]

The greatest Frenchman to have ever worn the Burnley shirt?

[ontario claret]

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

[Inchysince93]

I'd go as far as the greatest Frenchman ever!

[IndigoLake]

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

There was also Frederic Nimani. So yes...probably the greatest Frenchman to have worn the Burnley shirt

[ontario claret]

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

[Dyched]

He should make designer clothes with that name

[wilks_bfc]

Was it an answer or just a mention?

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Surely he is long overdue a half time appearance !!!

[Clarets4me]

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 !!!

[Down_Rover]

What about Arthur Gnohere? Thought he was best French claret

[IanMcL]

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!

[Clarets4me]

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

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

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

She's a right tramp now.

Such a beautiful woman riddled with tattoos.

[IanMcL]

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!

[IanMcL]

Here she is!

[Bin Ont Turf]

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.

[Saxoman]

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

[Fretters]

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!

[JegunClaret]

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

[turfytopper]

Was it an answer or just a mention?

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.

[ontario claret]

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

[IanMcL]

He was brilliant. But not all the time!

[ontario claret]

He was "mercurial". (Excellant word.)

[ecc]

He was "mercurial".

He was merde.

[ontario claret]

Tabernac!!! A little extreme, don't you think, ecc?

[ontario claret]

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