Jean-Louis Valois

Jean-Louis Valois Date of Birth: Oct 15, 1973

After beginning his professional career at Auxerre, Jean-Louis moved on to Gueugnon and then Lille before making a sudden and unexpected diversion to Joe Kinnear’s Luton in September 2001.

Rarely can a player have made such an impact on his debut with the Frenchman tearing poor Torquay apart and capping a virtuoso performance with a long range wonder goal in a 5-1 home win.

Although the hustle and bustle of Division Three football sometimes passed him by, on his day Jean-Louis could win a game on his own and it was sad when, after helping the Hatters to promotion, a dispute with Joe Kinnear saw him move to Hearts.

After wowing the Tynecastle crowd in his early days in Edinburgh, Jean-Louis moved on Almeria in Spain before returning to Scotland with Clyde and then playing for Burnley in the Championship.

Jean-Louis ended his playing days with United Arab Emirates side Al-Khaleej.
