Franck Ribéry
Franck Ribéry is a popular name in modern football. The French winger is currently playing for Bayern Munich and is considered one of the best football players in the world. He started his professional senior football career in 2000 when he played for Boulogne, and continued to show amazing performances since.
Franck was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, on April 7th, 1983. At a very young age, Franck showed his talents and love for football. In 1989, he joined local hometown club Conti Boulogne – the same team where he started his senior career as a professional football player – and showed amazing performances as a winger.
From the left-wing position, Franck is capable of creating unbelievable opportunities for attacking strikers to execute. His pace is nearly unrivaled and his ability to execute accurate passes is certainly valuable on the field.
Franck joined Alès in 2002 and then transferred to Stade Brestois a year after. He was then recruited to join Metz; he only played for the team during one season and he transferred to Galatasaray in 2005. With Franck supporting the team’s attacks, Galatasaray won the Turkish Cup the same year; it was also Franck’s first major honor.
It was his move to Olympique de Marseille that brought him back to France. He signed a 5-year contract with the team and quickly became the star of Marseille. It was his amazing performances during the 2006 FIFA World Cup that made every team manager approaching Marseille with an offer.
Franck is now playing for Bayern Munich after signing a deal in 2007.
