[QUOTE="M Two One, post: 394272, member: 29650"] Sotele Puleoto is a club legend in the heart of a Biarrot. He actually left Brive when the club was at their peak of power for more playing time with Biarritz. He was a stalwart for the club for around a decade and a major factor in ending the club's 63 years ***le drought in 2002. Over the next few seasons he started to slow due to all he gave on the pitch and BO eventually let him go to fellow Basque club SJLO. Francis Daguerre and Henri Haget were the first two legends of the club. They were both on board when the club won their first league ***les in 1935 and 1939. I talked to some supporters of Biarritz that had stories passed on to them by their relatives and these two were always talked about the most. Daguerre was actually born in Saint Pierre and Miquelon and although small in height he was a beast on the pitch. He overpowered a lot of opponents at the time and was eventually moved from hooker to prop for the national team and eventually for Biarritz. He also coached the team. Henri Haget on the other hand was the dominant brother of three for the club and captained France through part of the 1930's. His son Andrew also ended up being an icon for the club. I'll let lucky number 7 tell you about Condom. ;) [/QUOTE]
