A versatile, pacy defender who can also take the midfield 'holding' role, Lucien rose to prominence in a five-year spell with St Etienne, helping the club to win promotion in 1998-99.
Former England boss Kevin Keegan praised his versatility when he signed him for Manchester City for £1.5 million shortly after the start of the 2001-02 campaign. He featured regularly for the First Division champions.
Lucien was a member of the Cameroon team that won the 2000 African Nations' Cup and also featured in three of the qualifying games for Japan and South Korea World Cup.
He joined Southampton in September 2007 with a contract to June 2008.
