Club career

During his career, Simba played for Jeanne d'Arc, FCR Houdanaise, Versailles, Paris Saint-Germain, Cannes, Monaco, Caen and Lille in France, León in Mexico and Leyton Orient, Kingstonian, Kettering Town, Barnet, St. Albans City, Billericay Town and Clacton Town in England.[2]

Simba's move to Leyton Orient came about as a result of training with the club to keep fit whilst on holiday in London.

He was awarded most beautiful goal of the French Division in 1992-93 for a goal in which he received the ball, controlled it with his chest and finished it off with a bicycle kick.

International career

Simba was also selected to play for the French national team on three occasions, by then manager Michel Platini. He scored one goal, but injury prevented his participation in Euro 92 and his international career came to an end.[3]

Honours

Paris Saint-Germain

• Coupe de France: 1992-93
