Ils étaient nombreux à venir le saluer une dernière fois. Un hommage en guise d’adieu à François Bracci, troisième joueur le plus capé de l’histoire de l’Olympique de Marseille (342 matches, entre 1971 et 1979, puis de 1983 à 1985). Champion de France 1972 et vainqueur de la coupe de France en 1976 avec l’OM, celui que tout le monde surnommait “Tchoi” a ainsi eu droit à ses obsèques, en début d’après-midi, en l’église de Sainte-Marguerite à Marseille.

During an emotional ceremony, which ended with Corsican songs, several former Olympic players were present, such as Jean-Charles De Bono, Gérard Gili, Robert Nazaretian, Roland Gransart, Michel Flos and Marius TrésorArray. The current president of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria also attended the ceremony, as did Jean Tigana and Manuel Amorós, who played with François Bracci in the French national team (he has 18 caps to his name).
Members of the La Vieille Garde supporters’ club also paid tribute to the former OM player with banners and scarves. A light blue and white T-shirt was also placed over François Bracci’s coffin. We recall that the former left-back, who is also capable of The Libero Player, passed away last Thursday after a long illness.
