Every commentator, including Dermie whose opinions I value but whose person I despise, seems to make the comment that Florent is first and foremost an absolutely outstanding young man.
He lost his father last year to cancer last year, apparently he was one of the best blokes you could ever meet.
I'm sure it will be a very emotional time for young Ollie, achieving his dream but not having his father there to see it. I never met him or his family but for some reason this kid seems to strike a chord with me, and I feel we have a real responsibility as a club and community to his family to look after him.
I think it will be a powerful moment when he debuts. And if he kicks a goal it could be hard to keep it all together.
