Plymouth Argyle's final game of the 2011-12 season will always be remembered by the Green Army as the last career appearance of long-serving goalkeeper Romain Larrieu.
Le Keeper brought down the curtain on his 11-year playing stint at Home Park with his 318th appearance for the Pilgrims as a 85th minute substitute for Jake Cole.
The Frenchman first arrived at Home Park in December 2000, making his debut in an LDV Vans Trophy match against Bristol City.
He became the first choice for the Pilgrims as they won the Division Three title with a record 102 points in the 2001-02 season, a campaign that also saw him named in the PFA Division Three Team of the Season.
A second championship winners' medal would follow in the 2003-04 campaign as Argyle won the Division Two title as they returned to the second tier of English Football, following a 12-year absence.
Romain remained the Pilgrims' first choice keeper under the reigns of Bobby Williamson, Tony Pulis and Ian Holloway, whilst contesting with Luke McCormick for the goalkeeper's jersey, before he was struck by testicular cancer during the 2006-07 campaign.
Following his recovery he was allowed to go on loan to Gillingham to aid his return to match fitness and he also spent a brief spell on loan at Yeovil Town in the 2007-08 season.
However, he would regain his spot in the Argyle side during the 2008-09 season and went on to win the club's Player of the Year award for the campaign. Romain was then named as club captain for the subsequent 2009-10 season.
He remained at Home Park during the Pilgrims' back-to-back relegations, which saw them return to the Football League's basement division, during which time he celebrated his testimonial match against QPR in the summer of 2011.
Later on in the same year, he was asked to take on a different role when, following the dismissal of Peter Reid, Romain was named as assistant-manager to Carl Fletcher.
With the club periously close to dropping out of the league, they had one point to their name when the pair took charge and were still in Administration and hadn't been paid for several months, they managed to steer the Pilgrims to safety with two games remaining.
The timing of his last game was probably apt as it coincides with the beginning of a new era for both club and player as Romain is expected to stay at Home Park as part of the club's backroom staff.
