Thank you to Racing Club de Strasbourg, who gave me an opportunity at the age of five, and where I stayed until I was 18.
"Thank you to Southampton, I truly spent my best years with you. Thank you to Manchester United, one of the greatest clubs in the world.
"To Everton, thank you to OGC Nice, thank you to Sydney Wanderers, thank you to Kifisia FC.
"And my sister for always being there for me... and losing one or two teeth while playing goalkeeper just to make me happy.
"To my children, who helped me forget the pains and defeats. You three are my greatest victory.
'And I haven't forgotten you, the fans. Thank you to everyone who followed, encouraged, applauded, idolised, booed, and even disliked me. You were a great source of motivation.
"All of you allowed me to fulfil my childhood dream, that dream that allows a person to wake up every day and live their passion.
"That dream that led me to wear the French national team shirt for a World Cup and a Euros."
