Fabien Barthez was one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable footballers of recent decades with success throughout his club and international career.
Nicknamed Le Divin Chauve (The Divine Bald One), due to his trademark shaved head, which was regularly kissed by defender Laurent Blanc in a pre-match ritual, Barthez enjoyed a stunning career.
Standing at just 5 ft 11 in, Barthez was relatively short for a goalkeeper but he made up for his lack of physical stature with immense agility, athleticism, decision-making, bravery, ability to read the game, and commitment when coming out to collect the ball.
