Biography

Born in the south of France on the border with Spain, goalkeeper Michel Ben Soussan made his début for his hometown Pau before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in 1974. Ben Soussan remained in the French capital for a long time, first wearing the PSG shirt (1974-78, 1979-81 and finally in the 1989-90 season) and that of Paris F.C. in the 1978-79 season. He also played in Rouen from 1981-85, helping to bring the team back to Ligue 1, before playing for Caen from 1985-89.
