About Emmanuel Rivière
Emmanuel José Rivière is a French former professional footballer. Rivière primarily played in the lead striker role, but could also operate on wings. He was a French youth international having played at all levels before switching to represent the Martinique national team. Rivière scored his first career goal for Saint-Étienne on 13 May 2009 in the club's 4–2 victory over Le Havre. Due to the departure of Gomis, injuries to strikers Ilan and Kevin Mirallas, and the late arrival of the Argentine Gonzalo Bergessio, Rivière started the 2009–10 season as the club's first choice striker. On 15 August, Rivière netted his first goal of the season in the club's 3–1 loss to Toulouse.
