Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has been named as Bordeaux's record appearance holder in the French Ligue 1 over the past fifty years.

The official website of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) has revealed the record appearance holders of matches in Ligue 1 Conforama with the same club, and the Franco-German made the cut.

23 players have played 300 or more Ligue 1 Conforama games under the colors of the same club, and the division's record appearance holder is Jean-Luc Ettori, goalkeeper of AS Monaco between 1975 and 1994, totaling 602 league games with the Principality club.

In thirteenth place is Gernot Rohr, who racked up 352 appearances for Bordeaux before hanging up his boots, placing first for Les Girondins ahead of defender Marc Planus who had 300 games under his belt.

A product of Bayern Munich, the defender joined Bordeaux in 1977 and ended a 12-year association with the club in 1989 at the age of 36, after netting 13 goals in the French top-flight.

Rohr is best known at Bordeaux for being in the dugout when they lost the 1996 UEFA Cup final to his former club, Bayern Munich.
