Jean-Claude Darcheville
Born in Guyana, Jean Claude Darcheville arrived in mainland France in 1995 to sign for Stade Rennais. After two initial seasons in which he barely played (four games in D1 in two years), he gained more play time in 1997-1998, before moving on loan to Nottingham Forrest. After the English club didn’t keep him, he joined the FC Lorient where he finally broke through. After two seasons with over ten goals scored, he blossomed in D1 and scored nineteen goals. Better, Darcheville played a dominating role in the excellent performances by “Les Merlus” in the cup competitions, scoring the winning goal in the Coupe de France final. While Lorient was relegated, Darcheville was logically transferred. He landed in Bordeaux where he would remain for the following five seasons, alternating the good with the less good. After he left the Girondins in 2007, he drifted from club to club, with experiences in Scotland with the Glasgow Rangers, in L1 with Valenciennes, in L2 with Nantes, or in Greece with Kavala.
