Main thing I remember about him is the Sports Gazette double spread when him and Marvin Emnes signed. Other than a largely uninspiring, injury prone defensive midfielder who happened to be compared to Zizou because he was French and bald.
Good luck to him at Nice, owned by Ineos’ Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in the UK. Famous faces he’ll be managing include Morgan Schneiderlin, Ross Barkley, Fulham’s Joe Bryan and ex-Boro youth player Bilal Brahimi.
Also in the Nice side is Kasper Schmeichel, who was an unused sub at the Riverside on October 29th 2008, when Boro beat Man City 2-0, with Digard playing 76 minutes, and Aaron Ramsey, who was an unused sub at the Riverside on December 13th 2008, when Digard played 91 minutes in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
