Career: Early career Madou began his career at Senegalese club ASEC Yarax, before leaving the then top-three team to go to [J[eanne d'Arc]]. He then went on to join Lens in July 1996-1998, Paris St Germain (PSG) 1998-2002 integrating into a squad which at that time included fellow Senegalese Papa Bouba Diop.[2] Bolton Wanderers: Madou signed for English side Bolton Wanderers in July 2005 on loan .[3] Madou made his debut for Bolton against Newcastle United where he enjoyed a memorable debut in a 2–0 home win in which, he aerially out-muscled Alan Shearer. He came on as a substitute for the injured Radhi Jaïdi and never looked back after a dominant display.[4] Wanderers managerSam Allardyce praised the form of Madou early into his Bolton career.[5] In December 2005 Madou signed a permanent contract with Bolton.[6] Following this Madou expressed his delight at staying in England. "I like the English better than the French, they are more pleasant and nicer people. I am having a great time. In France you are almost treated too strictly. Here you work hard, you do your job but are given a little bit more freedom to enjoy life." —Madou on why he prefers England to France.[7] In the 2006–07 season Madou operated almost exclusively as a central defender following the departures of Bruno N'Gotty and Jaïdi to Birmingham City. Over the course of the season he developed a formidable partnership with IvorianAbdoulaye Méïté, ensuring that Bolton had a strong home defensive record before the new year. Soon after they fell away in the second half of the season only just qualifying for theUEFA Cupwith sides finding a way through Madou and Meite's dominance. Madou managed to score two goals against Arsenal in successive seasons helping Bolton to 2–0[8] and 3–1[9] victories due to his definite aerial prowess which the Arsenal defenders had no answer to. He was known for his dominant displays at central defence throughout the season and became a favourite amongst Bolton fans. Newcastle United: On 15 August 2007, there were stories in several newspapers stating that Madou would be moving to Newcastle United for around £2m to join up with former Manager Sam Allardyce.[10] On 31 August 2007, Madou signed a three-year contract at Newcastle United.[11] Madou was presented to the Newcastle fans at half-time during the home game against Wigan Athleticon 1 September. On 24 February 2008, Madou scored his only goal for Newcastle United during the 5–1 defeat at home to Manchester United.[12] Stoke City: Madou celebrating Stoke's survival in 2009 On 15 August 2008, Madou joined newly-promoted Premier League side Stoke City from Newcastle United for £2.25 million on a three-year contract.[13] He made his debut for Stoke in a 3-2 win over Aston Villa in August 2008.[14] He scored his first goal for the club against his old club Newcastle, which came in the 90th minute of the match to earn Stoke a point in a 2–2 draw.[15] He scored against Newcastle again later in the season in another draw between the two sides.[16] Madou's impressive first season did not go unnoticed with fellow Stoke players and fans as he won both Players and Fans Player of the Season Award for Stoke City.[17] He was also voted player of the year by all of the club's supporters groups.[18] Following his first season at Stoke he was awarded the captains armband on a permanent basis for the 2009–10 season.[19] Madou had another good season for City but was also hampered by injuries and had to leave the field before 30 minutes on a number of occasions. He struggled to make much of an impact during the season after a long period of knee injury and was released at the end of it after he was not offered a new contract. Stoke manager Tony Pulis and the Stoke sentinel paid tribute to Madou.[20] "Leuch" contribution to getting the Club where it is today should never be under-estimated, He loved playing for this Football Club and the supporters loved him, so in many respects it is sad to see him move on. But we are moving forward as a Club and unfortunately there are times when you have to make tough decisions that allow you to bring in the new faces which can improve the squad, and this is obviously one of them. We would like to thank Leuch for his contribution over the past three years and wish him well in the future." —Pulis on Madou's time at Stoke City.[21] In June 2011, following his release from Stoke City, as a free agent, Madou's currently in talk with several championship team who are still concern about his knee problems. Madou said "I am very happy about the progress of my knee and I cannot wait to get started playing again".
