You gotta love a man with a bald head, wearing short shorts, while sporting a fruity little moustache. The way he prances around the pitch is graceful in nature with a hint of sensetivity. I’d say barthez isnt doing much good for french streotypes. But I guess since he smokes weed hes alright in my books.

Julien, from what I read, he doesn’t really want to retire, but he only wants to play either in France or in a big European club. And with the baggage he’s carrying, nobody’s making an offer.

I would be surprised to see him between the posts again, but stranger things have happened.

After his depature from Nantes, do you think he will retire?

1992 sounds more like it. I thought he was bald by 2002. Must have read the accompanying article wrong. I’ll go in and fix it. Thanks!

Laurie,
Great photo! But it’s not from Euro 2000. It’s from 1992 according to the caption on the link you provided.

Good for you laurie, keep these birthday posts coming! Ah dear Fabien…he of the kissable bald head! I do miss his endearing way of pulling up those shorts…let’s remember that he was a very fine keeper in his day and made some incredible saves. Can’t see him in Mexico! Enjoy your b’day, Fabs.

Alas, I still care. In spite of myself.

Fabien Barthez still has the ability to inspire strong emotions in me. His on- and off-field antics made me laugh (suspensions for recreational cannabis use and spitting at a referee??) and made me cry (Fabien! Sweetie! CATCH the ball!! CATCH the freakin’ BALL!!!!), and my soccer-loving heart will never be the same because of him.
