Soccer: Waddle mulls over French return

Chris Waddle was today considering the possibility of a return to play for Marseille, at the age of 40.

Waddle, out of top club football since a short stint with Sunderland four years ago, was unsure at first how seriously to take Marseille’s offer of a three-month playing contract.

But the former England forward is nonetheless waiting to hear back from the club he last played for in 1992 and who are currently in a state of turmoil and struggling in Le Championnat (France’s version of the Premiership).
