Career
Cid was born in Talence, Gironde.[1] He joined Bolton from Girondins de Bordeaux in July 2007, having spent 8 years with the French club.[3]
After a number of shaky performances he was christened 'the hapless Gerald Cid' by Bolton Evening News journalist Gordon Sharrock.
On 13 January 2008, it was announced that he had left Bolton Wanderers by mutual consent. He returned to France, joining Ligue 1 side Nice, on a three-and-a-half-year deal.[4][5]
On 16 July 2010, Cid announced his retirement on the OGC Nice website.[2]
