Platini plays once more

Platini kicked the ball once again yesterday in a gala match held for retired French player, Olivier Rouyer, as Platini came on for the latter for the last 10 minutes of the game. It was a match which opposed an AS Nancy Lorraine team of 1978  (with Rouyer and co.) to Variétés club de France (comprising of the the likes of Blanc, Zidane, Dugarry, Papin, Giresse and others). Nancy lost 4-3, depite Rouyer’s efforts to score for his last game, but he eventually managed to score from the spot, the first time he admitted he took a penalty in his whole career. Platini’s introduction did not change anything in the scoreline.
