Khadim Faye - Club Career

Club Career

Faye started his career with hometown's ASC Diaraf, moving in 1996 to Portugal with União de Montemor (third division) alongside compatriot and teammate Fary Faye, and going on to remain in the country for the remainder of his career.

After helping F.C. Felgueiras finish fifth and seventh in consecutive second level seasons, he attracted the attention of Boavista F.C. in the top division, but could never be more than backup with the Porto outfit, barred by Portuguese international Ricardo first, then Cameroonian William Andem (also an international for his country) after the former left for Sporting Clube de Portugal in 2003.

Faye was further demoted to third-choice after Boavista signed Carlos Fernandes. His best league output consisted of eight games (seven starts, 12 goals conceded) in the 2004–05 season, as Boavista finished in sixth position, narrowly missing out on UEFA Cup qualification; aged nearly 37, he left the club and retired from football.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:

    The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.
    “Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)

    What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
