Hugo Lloris

Hugo Lloris (born 26 December 1986 in Nice) is a French football player who currently plays as a goalkeeper for Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1. He is also a French international and is currently the first-choice goalkeeper for both club and country. Lloris previously played for hometown club OGC Nice making his debut as a teenager in October 2005. After excelling at the club for three years, in 2008, Lloris moved to seven-time champions Olympique Lyonnais. He is the reigning Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year.

Hugo began his football career playing at CEDAC (Centre de Diffusion et d’Action Culturelle), a local cultural center based in the commune of Cimiez located on the outskirts of Nice. The center offered a variety of activities, which included football. Lloris excelled at the center and caught the attention of former OGC Nice goalkeeper Dominique Baratelli, who recommended that the player join his former club. At the age of 10, Lloris joined Nice's youth academy.

After spending nearly three years in the reserves, he was promoted to the first team squad and was handed the number 1 kit. He was designated by manager Frédéric Antonetti as the starting goalkeeper for the club's Coupe de la Ligue season ahead of fan-favorite and Nice-born as well Damien Gregorini, who was relied more upon in league play.

Fleury Di Nallo

The club's all-time leading scorer is Fleury Di Nallo, who scored 182 goals while at the club from 1960 to 1974. Di Nallo is also third behind Chiesa and Coupet in all time appearances having played in 489 matches during his 14-year stint at the club. Despite Di Nallo's impressive goalscoring record, he doesn't hold the record for most goals scored during a league season. That distinction goes to Bourg-en-Bresse-born André Guy who notched 25 goals, which he attained during the 1968–69 season.

Lyon's biggest victory is 10–0, which occurred of two occasions against Ajaccio in the 1953–54 edition of the Coupe de France and, two seasons later, against Delle in the 1955–56 edition of the competition. Lyon's biggest league victory is 7–0 and also occurred on two occasions. The first being during the 1966–67 season against Angers and the second being against Marseille during the 1997–98 season. The club's biggest victory on the European stage occurred during the 1974–75 season. Lyon hammered Luxembourg-based club FA Red Boys Differdange 7–0.
