In the podcast Debriefers on ForEver, Julien Bée and the debriefers voted to elect the eleven guys in the history of Girondins de Bordeaux. It was about the choice of Jean-Christophe Thouvenel at the right-back position. It was chosen almost unanimously, because François Grenet was also cited.
« For the right side, Thouvenel was chosen almost unanimously. Grenet? Yes. We remind you, he is the new president of the League (of Nouvelle-Aquitaine). He was born in Bordeaux anyway, because he's a guy from Bayonne, he's a guy from the Basque country but he was born in Bordeaux. For information, François Grenet still has 248 matches with the Girondins, 4 goals scored. Champion of France in 1999. It is said that he was finalist of the UEFA Cup in 96 and he won the Intertoto Cup in 95, but he is Champion of France in 99 and finalist of the Coupe de la Ligue in 97 and 98 Besides, when I interviewed him, he told me 'It's incredible, I made three finals and I lost all three'. Three including two League Cup finals and one European Cup final. He was unlucky. But 248 matches with the Girondins is actually not bad at all. »
