A former Ligue 1 player in a psychiatric hospital. Aged 49, Dianbobo Baldé, former Celtic Glasgow defender also passed by the French championship (Valenciennes, Arles-Avignon) was placed at the Timone hospital in Marseille this Thursday reports La Provence. The one who played 229 games with the Myhthics Scottish club between 2001 and 2009 (16 goals) was hospitalized after having had a very strange behavior in front of the Accats school, in the 11th arrondissement of the Marseille city where he has no schooled children.
“Somewhat inconsistent remarks, even at the police station”
It all starts Tuesday, the day after the start of the school year. Parents of students notice the presence of a man with imposing build (1.90m) who has words deemed disturbing, notably evoking a “mission” before dying, still according to the Provençal media. Led to the police station as a victim after a student parent struck him with his car before punching him to the face, he did not wish to file a complaint. This is when the police realized that they are dealing with a former football player.
“He is a very nice person, but he began to make somewhat incoherent words, even in the police station,” said Provence. Although quickly released, “Bobo” Baldé was again seen on Wednesday and Thursday in front of the same school. Given his condition, the former Toulousain was this time transferred to psychiatric emergencies.
