Amara Simba
Template:Short description Template:Infobox football biography
Amara Simba (born 23 December 1961) is a retired French professional footballer who played as a forward.[1]
Club career
During his career, Simba played for Jeanne d'Arc, FCR Houdanaise, Versailles, Paris Saint-Germain, Cannes, Monaco, Caen and Lille in France, León in Mexico and Leyton Orient, Kingstonian, Kettering Town, Barnet, St. Albans City, Billericay Town and Clacton Town in England.[2]
Simba's move to Leyton Orient came about as a result of training with the club to keep fit whilst on holiday in London.
He was awarded most beautiful goal of the French Division in 1992-93 for a goal in which he received the ball, controlled it with his chest and finished it off with a bicycle kick.
International career
Simba was also selected to play for the France national team on three occasions, by then manager Michel Platini. He scored two goals, but injury prevented his participation in Euro 92 and his international career came to an end.[3]
