Bastia

Yeah, it's happening, you know what I mean? Because...

Leaving Le Havre, go to Corsica, Bastia, you know, stay in the Premier League, in League One in France, you know, that was the goal, you know, to keep playing in a high level, you know, possible, you know, and first year was okay, you know, everything was good, you know, fan love, everything, people good.

And after second year, you know, when things start to be, the team wasn't performed really good.

I think the team go down, been relegated at that time, you know, and that's the racist things happening.

Yeah, definitely.

There was a Greek club and then there was Bastia in France and the two of them were I had been down the road with my agent my agent was Gobbin Smith the ex Kilmarnock and Rangers player so he was a goer and my wife now was my girlfriend then we were both quite keen to go abroad but then Kilmarnock came in and obviously spoke to them and you just kind of weigh everything up so I just thought and I'm a wee bit of a home bird even though I would have went abroad I'm quite quite close with all my family and all the rest of it as well.

So I just felt, and it wasn't, the money would be better, but it wasn't life-changing money back then.

I mean, so it wasn't as if you're going there and you're getting a million pound a year or whatever.

Speaking of Corsica, the British expedition there hinged not just on artillery but on their ability to land forces and supply them over sea lanes controlled by these nimble frigates.

And that brings us back to the siege of Bastia.

The Royal Navy blockaded the French garrison using a mix of ships, including frigates like HMS Arethusa.

Their gunports could bring down enemy shore batteries.

Okey, y una, una más de mi parte.

En algún momento, o sea, tú vienes de, del Bastia, de Francia.

En algún momento mencionaste que no, que no saliste bien de, de este equipo francés.

¿Qué, qué fue lo que realmente sucedió?

compañerosY ese tema que ya mencionábamos aquí, eh, a lo mejor en el tema de la portería, lo de García.

Hay, hay un tema curioso.

Eh, tú, tú compartías en el Bastia con el último haitiano en el área, que aquí se volvió muy popular, eh, Johnny Placide, un portero haitiano, ¿no? Que enfrentó a México en su momento.

Ahora tienes [ríe] a Óscar García también como arquero.
