My Take
As a goalkeeper, Bernard Lama always struck me as the kind of steady presence a team builds confidence around. Winning the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 with France puts him in genuinely rare company, even if he wasn't always the first-choice name people remember from that golden generation. What stands out to me is the breadth of his career, from Lille, Metz and Paris Saint-Germain in France to a spell at West Ham in the Premier League. The Legion of Honour in 1998 feels earned. I respect players like him who quietly anchor historic sides without demanding the headlines.
