I don't think this is really in the scope of France as a whole...it is very specific, if he indeed comes back and captains France (can't see it) then it probably would be. Also i need confirmation on his goal/app. stats, juggedhair for some reason deleted these. The earlier edits have incorrect caps for France as that is only tournament appearances. He made five national appearances. i think he scored four goals for France as well, most of which were flukes hence is claim to fame as 'the defender who can'. Don't know details on his club stats.

Don't know if this should be in the French project really. He played a total of seven games for France, i will dig up a ref. You can probably find his stats here: http://www.soccerstats.com/. I will take a look later. I think some of Juggedhair's claims maybe a bit..err...far fetched. He did indeed look to be a great player at one point, but his spell at Manchester United was not nearly as impressive as it is made out to be. I think it is mainly the French papers who think that, he is considered somewhat of a disaster by most Manchester United fans. This is probably harsh as he was not to blame for that clubbing they got, but i think perhaps this view should be shown.

I cannot find any refs about those transfer figures cited. I cannot find any at all though and he was on a contract as opposed to a free transfer during both of those transfers. Anyway i shifted the text a bit and cleared the club appearances. Not sure if he ever played for hearts of midlothian, cannot find any source saying he did.

I'd like to try and improve the article further - to date, I don't think that all his achievements as a footballer have been entered on the page. I'll try and search for references and such like. Ducksofmercy (talk) 19:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have found his Manchester United stats at http://www.btinternet.com/~keano16/manupag/legends/prunierpag/prunier.htm he played two full games and scored two goals. I will continue to search for further stats.
