In Le Podcast des Légendes, the former defender of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Marius Trésorremembered his arrival in the Scapular Club, which is in fact the beginning of Bordeaux’s rise.
“What appeals to me about the Bordeaux project? I was admirably surprised by the way Bordeaux welcomed me. At a certain point, there were quite a few journalists who said that for me, football was over, when I was only 30 years old. Bordeaux allowed me, although I only played there for three and a half years, to have a second youth. I knew the majority of Bordeaux players. We had played in the French team together… There was Jean-Christophe Thouvenel, Alain Giresse, René Girard, Bernard Lacombe, Gérard Soler, Albert Gemmrich… I had also played against them with Marseille. We rubbed shoulders, and we did training courses together with the French team. I was in a famous country… In addition, there was François Bracci. We were four musketeers from the south to ride: François Bracci, Jean Fernandez, René Girard and me. Plus the new coach, Aimé Jacquet. So it’s true that it allowed me to explode, and it’s true that it’s a shame to have had these physical problems, because of this hernia in 1977, and this operation. I had difficulty doing abs, and this pain haunted me during the three and a half years that I played in Bordeaux”
