August 22 1963 , inHyeres ) is a French former professional footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. Rousset started his career with Sochaux in 1982, where he spent eight seasons, playing more than 100 times for theMontbéliard side before he was transferred toOlympique Lyonnais in 1990. He quickly established himself as the first choice goalkeeper at theStade de Gerland , playing 98 matches over the next 3 seasons.During this period, Rousset was capped twice by France. He was selected in the squad for the 1992 Euro Championships although, as 2nd choice goalkeeper, he did not play in
Sweden .In 1993, Rousset was surprisingly transferred to
Olympique de Marseille , who were the reigning European Champions but embroiled in a corruption scandal. The presence of rising starFabien Barthez ensured Rousset did not start a competitive match for the club and when Marseille were forcibly relegated in the summer of 1994, as punishment for theirmatch fixing crimes, Rousset (and many other established players) were sold.Rousset spent the next season with
Stade Rennais before moving toScotland to join Heart of Midlothian in 1995. He spent six seasons inEdinburgh , helping transform a Hearts side that had flirted with relegation into a credible domestic competitor. He also won his only major honour there, theScottish Cup in 1998, having been a losing finalist on 3 previous occasions earlier in his career (1988 with Sochaux and twice in 1996 with Hearts).Rousset retired from playing in 2001 and now works as a
goalkeeping coach at Lyon.Honours
