Interview: Marwan Kabha
During the international break, we decided to conduct a lengthy interview. We sat down with Marwan Kabha, the third Israeli player to ever wear our purple jersey. Our interesting guest describes himself as an Arab-Palestinian Israeli, who has become fascinated with Maribor for various reasons. Read on if you want to learn more about him.
Interview: Jean-Philippe Mendy
Before now, we knew Versailles for its palace. From this summer on, we will know it for an entirely different reason. Versailles is the place where an interesting story began on 4 March 1987 with the birth of Jean-Philippe Mendy, a striker whose injuries have prevented him from showcasing his full talent. As a member of Dinamo Bucharest, he played two matches in the European competition against Benfica and Tottenham. In the game against the latter he was able to get on the scoresheet. Becoming a member of Maribor is opening up a new chapter in his career. The first thing the family of our French striker noticed when he came to Maribor was how beautiful the colours of his new club were. Jean-Philippe has already sent the first batch of jerseys to Versailles where his relatives are proud to see him celebrate the goals he scores in the purple shirt. JP hopes (as do we) that they will get plenty of opportunities to celebrate his successful performances in the beautiful purple jersey.
