Marc Libbra (born 5 August 1972) is a French former professional footballer, whose previous clubs include Marseille, Norwich City, Toulouse FC and Hibernian.
Libbra scored a memorable goal on his debut for Norwich City, coming off the bench to score against Manchester City in August 2001.[2] Seven days later he scored a late winner away at Wimbledon.[3] However, he was unable to maintain such form and was released by the club shortly after the start of the 2002–03 season.
Since retiring as a player, Libbra has worked as a football pundit for French television.[4]
