À la rentrée, le Montpellier-Hérault aura 50 ans. Parmi les festivités : un tramway spécialement décoré avec les grands noms du club.

1974-2024. A half-century. 50 years. At its head: a name, Nicollin. Loulou of course. And now Laurent, who has taken over.

Both feature prominently on the tramway which has been running on the Montpellier lines for a week and which some will have already encountered.

The club is 50 years old and is making it known. Midi Libre – RAYAN DEWALQUE

Every moment is like this. Since "the’ascension" and the young years of Louis, Bernard Gasset, Michel Mézy, Fleuri Di Nallo and Roger Milla. There are still the kids from the club, from Baills to Rizzetto and Bonnissel, Jean-Christophe Rouvière, Serge Blanc, reinforced by Carlos Valderrama, Franck Silvestre, Bruno Martini… Until the champions: Loulou and his orange crest, Laurent Blanc kid from Mosson before arriving on the roof of the world, the first steps of Olivier Giroud who was not still the record holder for goals in the French team… And the current generation, led by Téji!

Originally: Loulou with Bernard Gasset. And Michel Mézy. Then Roger, Gérard, and all the others! Midi Libre – RAYAN DEWALQUE

In short, if you see this tram train and you like a little ball, turn your head, it's worth it.

For the record, the work (installation and covering) will have cost 7 800 €.

Belhanda, René Girard, Rémy Cabella… Midi Libre – RAYAN DEWALQUE

Happy birthday La Paillade!

Impossible to miss Carlos Valderrama, Pascal Baills and the kids from the club, all grown up. Midi Libre – RAYAN DEWALQUE
