Club career

Bianconi played for Bastia, RCFC Besançon, Cannes, Nîmes, and Paris Saint-Germain over the course of 11 years, making over 175 career appearances and scoring 5 goals.

As a very aggressive player, Bianconi received numerous yellow and red cards during his career. In a friendly between Nîmes and Toulouse in 1985, he slapped Alberto Márcico. The referee brandished his red card, but Bianconi thought otherwise, and decided to rip apart the card and headbutt the referee, who was left with a bloody nose. Bianconi was given a six-month ban in all competitions, and never played for Nîmes again.[4]

International career

On 2 September 1989, Bianconi made his debut for the Corsica national team in a 4–3 victory over Toulon.[5]

Disappearance

Bianconi mysteriously disappeared on 29 December 1993, at the age of 31. His car was found on the port of Bastia, but without any trace of its owner.[6]
