Before establishing himself as one of the greatest strikers in the French football history, “JPP” has played the Toulon Tournament. It was in 1985 and the Frenchman was already a clinical forward.
Jean-Pierre Papin helped France to win the Toulon Tournament 1985 as scored three goals in this edition. Including a stunning strike against Spain during the group stage. Many years later, Papin remembers his goal.
“I have a video of this goal against Spain and I’m watching it often. I began to run from our own half, I have received a pass and then I have finished the action by a shot into the opposite top corner. It was my first goal at the Stade Vélodrome. However, at that moment, I didn’t know that I will score so many goals in this stadium”, he said in an exclusive interview on 2015.
Plenty of goals and a Ballon d’Or !
Papin is remembered for his fantastic spell at Olympique de Marseille. The French striker has won 4 league titles and a French Cup with OM. He was also named Ballon d’Or in 1991.
