PSG captain and also French International regular Marcel Sabatier signed for the Dragons in the summer of 2002 after being impressed by his former manager, Patrick Doyle's vision for the club.
Sabatier found it easy to adapt to the English game. He was captain of the club for much of his first season, until an off pitch altercation saw him dropped from the team and replaced as captain.
In his second season, Sabatier became captain once again and continued to play well. Until a bust up with manager Stuart Naysmith and other incidents led to him being replaced as captain once again.
For the remainder of the season, Sabatier did his best for the team which included one match playing in goal. As the team were on the verge of the Champions League, he was tragically murdered at night.
