Career

Born in Senegal, Fernandez was a FC Girondins de Bordeaux youth product.[5] He spent two seasons on loan in French Division 2 with Sedan and Angers.[6]

After returning from loan, Fernandez made his Ligue 1 debut with Bordeaux under manager Slavoljub Muslin in November 1995, in a match against Lens.[6] In December, he played against Real Betis in the second leg of the 1995–96 UEFA Cup round of 16, at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. Bordeaux lost 2–1 but progressed to the quarter-final thanks to a 2–0 win in the first leg.[6] In the second half of the season he made just four appearances under Muslin and Muslin's successor Gernot Rohr.[6] One of these appearances was as a substitute in Bordeaux's 3–0 win against A.C. Milan in the UEFA Cup quarter-final.[6]

Having been released by Bordeaux at the end of the 1995–96 season, Fernandez joined Caen, also of Ligue 1, where he played for most the season.[6] He continued his career in Italy but made no appearances while at Udinese, Monza and Milan, and on loan at French club Toulouse.[6]

Fernandez moved to Scotland in summer 2000 signing a two-year contract with Scottish Premier League club Dundee United.[7] While at Dundee United, he notably had an altercation with Everton's Paul Gascoigne during a friendly match.[7] Having made seven appearances and with the club placed last in the league, he was released in December, five months into his contract.[7]

He played two matches for Persma Manado in Indonesia before retiring from playing at the age of 29,[6] due to a knee injury.[5]

Personal life

Fernandez had a wife and a son.[5] He later separated from his wife and no longer saw his son.[5] He spent parts of his wages supporting family in Senegal.[5]

He died on 19 January 2016 in Domont, aged 43.[5][8] He was buried in Senegal.[5]
