Pascal Olivier Nouma (born 6 January 1972) is a Senegalese/French footballer. He is particularly famous for his eccentric behaviour both on and off the pitch. During an interview with Hürriyet he admitted being Turkish and feeling that Turkey is his home country. [1]

He started his career in the Paris Saint-Germain youth team before moving around other teams in France. He played for Lille and Caen before moving back to PSG for two seasons in 1994. In 1996 he left for Strasbourg, spending two seasons there before he moving to Lens. After two seasons at Lens, he left for the Turkish club Beşiktaş, where he achieved phenomenal success and still maintains his popularity among Beşiktaş fans, who composed special songs for him. He played for them for one season, moving to play for Marseille the next year. He returned for a short spell at Beşiktaş the next season, but his contract was cancelled by the board following a bizarre incident in which he celebrated a goal against arch-rivals Fenerbahçe by putting his hands down his shorts, a gesture he described as 'a private moment of joy'. He was forced to leave Beşiktaş because of a suspension for 7 months from the Turkish Football Federation due to this behaviour.
