SYLVAN WILTORD
OLYMPIQUE LYON

Although he was a starter on France's ill fated 2002 World Cup side, Sylvan Wiltord's defining moment in a France uniform came when he scored the equalizer in the dying moments of regulation in the 2000 Euro final that France eventually won.

Sylvan grew up in Paris was not able to break in with PSG so he went to a couple of different clubs before making his name with Bordeaux. His two seasons there led him to Arsenal in England where he thrived both as a starter and coming off the bench before returning to France with Lyon.

Will probably feature heavily in France's World Cup qualification campaign as he is a strong talented striker.
