He confides that in the large family of sports journalists, they nicknamed him “the professor” because of his knowledge which he loved to teach to others. Jacques Vendroux remembered his “incredible elegance, an elegance of writing” before specifying that for him it is “without doubt one of the best football and cycling commentators” that he has been able to rub shoulders. “His death saddened me because he brought me a lot. When I had the chance to sign for Europe 1, he was the first to congratulate me and invited me to lunch to tell me about the magnificent history of Europe 1. She was truly a beautiful person”, concludes Jacques Vendroux.
