Franck Ribery – Before
Franck Ribery didn’t have the toughest of childhoods, but his housekeeper mother and construction worker father couldn’t afford many of the things he wanted as a child. It didn’t help much that when he was just two years old, he and his family were involved in a terrible car accident, which left the right side of his face permanently scarred.
As you already know, children can be cruel at times, and Franck had to endure taunts and bullying throughout his school years. However, with soccer occupying his mind, he did nothing but hone his skills and eventually sign with a youth—and subsequently, professional—club.
