The latest episode of the Argyle Podcast is available to listen to!

From Paris to Plymouth.

There won’t be many players who would have enjoyed the career that Mathias Kouo-Doumbe did. And it was a career that almost didn’t get started.

Growing up in the football hotbed that is Paris, an obsession with the game was always going to happen, but Mathias quicky shone. Despite his obvious quality, his feet were kept firmly on the ground by his parents who refused to let him join the much-famed Clairefontaine football academy and Monaco as a teenager.

He would soon make the move into the professional game at his boyhood club PSG. A trip to Scotland soon followed before he was taken south, to Argyle, by former manager Bobby Williamson.

Mat was an important player over his five years at the club. Comfortable playing anywhere across the back, his pace and physicality made him a firm fans favourite.

This is the story of Mathias Kouo-Doumbe.
