This post category is inspired by those E! True Hollywood Story type of shows where they show child stars post-Hollywood fame. This is my version of Where Are They Now? where I will try to track down legendary players of yesteryears and find out where and what they are doing now. I’m not the greatest researcher so there may be info that I may miss out or make mistakes on, so I’m open to all helpful suggestions and comments J
The first footballer I’ll feature in this category is Fabien Barthez. Why him? Well, the Waka-waka video from my previous Shakira-Piqué post, made me wonder where Barthez is now. Is he still playing in Europe? Or did he follow what most great European football players do before hanging up their studs—play for the MLS. So, who is Fabian Barthez?

He is one of football’s famous (or is it infamous?) bald-headed goalkeepers. This retired French goalkeeper’s career can be described as part brilliant and part cringe-worthy. Some love him, some hate him. When he’s good, he’s spectacular. But when his bad, it’s awful. Fans who love this endearing goalie know all about his incredible reaction and crucial saves due to his remarkable sense of anticipation. His critics, however, would say that this accident-prone keeper’s clumsy and sometimes comic ineptitude has cost a lot of significant conceded goals.
