Why Marseille Fans Love Andre Ayew: Ghanaian international André Ayew opened his goal-scoring account for the season with a strike for Le Havre in their 5-1 defeat against Olympique Marseille in Ligue 1, but the former attacker OM refused to celebrate his effort.
Andre’s father, Abedi Ayew, is a cult hero at Marseille whose vociferous fans adore the Ayew family, with Jordan Ayew also representing the Ligue 1 side in the past.
The former West Ham United attacker was in tears when the home fans applauded him following the game.
The Ghana captain, who joined Le Havre during the summer transfer window, made his mark against his former club in a bittersweet moment.
Ayew, a Marseille legend who spent over a decade at the club across two spells, displayed great sportsmanship by refusing to celebrate his goal. His gesture earned applause from some sections of the Stade Vélodrome crowd, a testament to the respect he still commands from Marseille supporters.
Despite Ayew’s effort, Le Havre struggled to contain a dominant Marseille side that showcased their attacking prowess throughout the match.
The defeat highlighted the gap between the two sides, with Le Havre needing to tighten their defense as the season progresses.
Ayew’s goal was a reminder of his quality and experience, and it will provide a morale boost for Le Havre as they continue their campaign. For the player, the moment carried emotional significance, blending personal pride with professional disappointment against a club that holds a special place in his heart.
This performance reaffirms Ayew’s status as a key figure for Le Havre and a respected figure in French football.
