Listening to the interview with the new signing from barrow. Flynny says he can’t recall a Frenchman playing for Alty before. I seem to remember a chap called Gerrard Leonard making an appearance somewhere. Probably in preseason who was French and also a huge guy of African Origin who played in preseason in midfield and was clearly far too good for conference level and I think his agent pulled a fast one and just got him down to Alty for game time and needless to say he went somewhere else higher up after a couple of appearances. Can these be confirmed by the great minds on here

Transfermarkt has Mohamed Coly's place of birth down as Paris.

[Mrs Warbouys]

Was he French or Senegalese though, that’s the question

[Mrs Warbouys]

It seems he has duel nationality. As you say born in Paris, but represented, or would have represented Senegal. I’ll take that as a win. Right more needed on Gerrard lèonard

[Mrs Warbouys]

Stop press. Mo Coly is NOT the player I’m thinking of. The lad I’m thinking of played in central midfield. Played about two games preseason, massive he was.

Has everyone forgotten the legendary Brian Le Boutillier?
