Jean-Francois' international career is unusual because he's from French Guyana and has spent most of his time in France. A bit like Owen Hargreaves I suppose.
Hopefully his family in Haiti are okay.

His 11 year old sister is missing. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/4857125.Swindon_Town_s_Lescinel_begs_Swindon_to_pray_for_his_family_in_Haiti/TOWN defender Lescinel Jean-Francois is asking everyone in Swindon to pray for his 11-year-old sister who is still missing in the Haiti disaster zone.
The 23-year-old player has spoken of his heartache at not knowing if his youngest sibling is still alive, having been unable to get in contact with any of his 10 aunties and uncles who are also missing in the country.
A large number of the Haiti international’s family still live in the country and his sister Erika was visiting his grandmother for a few months when the earthquake hit.
Hope everything turns out for the best. |

Fair play to him for kitting up on Saturday, most wouldn't have!
Fingers crossed.

Just seen an interview with Lesc on BBC local news. Basically said going to training and getting game time helps him to stop worrying about family. Fair play to him.

Mental, didn't even know about Haiti until this thread. Oh well, hope it all turns out good for the bloke. And lets hope we can forgive any less than perfect (or shit as jonny would say  ) performances. |

Defoe said the same about his brother dying. He reckons this is why he has played so well this year. |

I thought he did alright when he came on against Gillingham. Looks even better with this in mind. Fair play to him.

That's very bad news about about his sister, hopefully she is found and until then he gets all the help he needs from the club and supporters.

feel quite the cnut for slating his performance Saturday now! Definitely puts life into perspective when things like this happen. I remember reading about wilson palacios playing after his brother was kidnapped and later murdered.
Can't even begin to wonder how could think about playing footie.
Lets hope he gets some good news.
