Thanks to his thunderous right boot, André-Pierre Gignac bagged some spectacular goals in Ligue 1 Uber Eats. A complete striker, the man who has worn the colours of FC Lorient, Toulouse FC and Olympique de Marseille established himself as one of the most prolific players in the French top flight over the last couple of decades. Between 2006 and 2015, the France international scored 102 goals in his homeland.

GIGNAC'S KEY STATS:

First hat-trick:

Three weeks after his Ligue 1 Uber Eats debut, Gignac celebrated scoring his first goal in the top flight - with a cannonball of a 30-metre free-kick. On 26 August 2006, when Lorient hosted FC Nantes, the then 20-year-old striker scored a 25-minute hat-trick - his only one in his nine seasons in the league - to secure a 3-1 win for his side. Gignac finished season 2006-07 with nine league goals.

Ligue 1 Uber Eats top scorer:

After almost signing for LOSC, Giganc chose Toulouse FC in the summer of 2007. His first season did not go as hoped, with only two goals scored in 28 league games, but in 2008-09, he exploded onto the scene, finishing as top scorer in Ligue 1 Uber Eats with 24 goals in 38 games. During this season, he scored six braces and almost two thirds (15) of his total goal tally at the Stadium de Toulouse. He became a full French international that spring, but struggled to confirm his status the following season with eight goals in 31 games.

Coupe de la Ligue BKT wins:

Transferred to OM after the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Gignac initially struggled under Didier Deschamps. He 'only' managed nine goals in 51 league matches across his first two seasons at the Orange Vélodrome. Hampered by a groin injury as he competed with Brandao and Loïc Rémy for a place, he made just six starts in 2011-12. But during these two seasons with  Deschamps, he won the Coupe de la Ligue BKT twice. He was a starter in the first final, against Montpellier Hérault SC at the end of April 2011, which OM won 1-0.

First double against PSG:

As was the case at Lorient and Toulouse, Gignac managed to gradually work his way into the first team. The arrival of Élie Baup as coach marked a turning point in Gingnac's career at  Marseille. With 13 goals, he finished top scorer ahead of a certain Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who also scored twice when the sides drew 2-2 in a Classique at the Vélodrome.

Best season at OM:

In 2013-14, the Martigues native began to click into gear at Marseille, scoring 13 league goals. He scored two more the following campaign before enjoying his best  single-season return since his 24-goal haul with Toulouse in 2008-09, with 21 strikes as OM finished fourth under Marcelo Bielsa, who has succeeded José Anigo.

100th goal in Ligue 1:

Before leaving OM at the end of his contract and joining UANL Tigres in Mexico, Gignac reached the 100-goal mark in the league at the end of the 2014-15 campaign. He scored his 100th goal of the season with an opportunistic strike in a Round 35 win at FC Metz before completing his brace in a 2-0 win.
