WHEN people think of football in Paris, they tend to think of Paris St Germain, with its Eiffel Tower badge on a shirt that’s in almost every sports and souvenir shop in the world. 

Of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham, Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani, Angel Di Maria and their Brazilian glamour boy Neymar, bought for an obscene £200 million from Barcelona. 

But there is another football club in Paris — Red Star FC — a football club with history and integrity behind it. It’s modest, but loyal supporters represent a club and fanbase with principles, even if they now ply their trade in the Championnat National, the third-tier of French football.
