France's new president Emmanuel Macron used to be a left-back

Macron, who will become France's youngest-ever
leader after winning Sunday's election with 66.1%
of the vote, took to the pitch during his student
days at the National School of Administration.
The 39-year-old was registered as a player by the
French Football Federation (FFF) from 2004 to
2007, and turned out in the French amateur leagues
every Saturday morning with his fellow students at
the Emile Anthoine Staidum.
The 2006/07 season proved to be his last as an
amateur footballer, as he made the full transition
from football into politics and investment banking.
Macron, who is originally from Amiens, spoke of
being a keen Marseille fan on his campaign trail.
