If his notoriety exploded when he played for OM between 1988 and 1991, if he wrote his name in his legend at the Girondins de Bordeaux (1991-96) by spending 1,176 minutes in the league without conceding a goal – absolute record , Gaëtan Huard has never been so long in a club as in Lens, where he started in 1980 and stayed for eight seasons. From this passage in Artois, the former goalkeeper visibly kept a great memory, as he explained to La Provence.
“Lens is the dedication, the surpassing”
“I played in Lens, OM, Bordeaux, each club, each region, each city with its specificities, its mentality, the team must be like it. Bordeaux has a certain solidity, being difficult to maneuver; Marseille, the Right to the goal, the attack; Lens, the dedication, the surpassing, the sense of the effort, which comes from the culture of the mines. You have to know how to keep your characteristics. I guess it’s still different in Brittany. When you come to a club, you have to soak up its culture, the local atmosphere in order to respect the environment and history. GACP and King Street have hurt Bordeaux, they have fired people from the club badly. “
Currently unemployed after the end of his field experience for beIN Sport, Gaëtan Huard is graduating to be able to train goalkeepers in training centers. A recruitment idea for the Racing Club de Lens?
