Grégory Wimbée (born August 19, 1971 in Essey-lès-Nancy) is a French football goalkeeper who is currently playing for Grenoble Foot 38, in the French first division.
[edit] Football career
After graduating from AS Nancy-Lorraine's youth system and serving a loan to Ligue 2 side Olympique Football Club Charleville, Wimbée became an undisputed starter for the former, helping it achieve promotion to the top level. On November 28, 1996, in his first top flight season, he scored a last minute goal with his right foot, from a corner, in a 1-1 home draw against RC Lens, becoming the first (and only) goalkeeper to have scored in the competition's history.
After an unassuming year with AS Cannes, Wimbée moved to Lille OSC, helping it to another promotion and into the UEFA Champions League 2001-02, the first-ever participation for the Nord-Pas de Calais outfit. During six seasons, he was an automatic first-choice.
After two seasons and a further 67 first division matches with FC Metz, Wimbée joined Grenoble Foot 38 in 2006, playing 36 games in 2007-08, a season which again ended in promotion, as Grenoble returned to the first division after a 45-year absence.
