Club career

Early career

Disney was born on 7 January 1980 in Brazzaville, Congo.[1][3] He began playing football in 1996 at local club Étoile du Congo with whom he won two Congo Premier League titles and a Coupe du Congo.[1][3]

In 2002, he joined Romanian second league side Internațional Pitești for three seasons, during which the highlight was scoring nine goals in the 2003–04 season.[1][3][4]

Pandurii Târgu Jiu

In 2005, Disney was transferred to first league team Pandurii Târgu Jiu, where on 7 August he made his Divizia A debut under coach Emil Săndoi in a 2–1 home loss to Farul Constanța.[4][5] He scored his first goal on 24 September in a 2–1 home victory against Gloria Bistrița, one week later scoring again in another 2–1 win over CFR Cluj.[4][6] Until the end of the season, Disney scored three more goals: the sole goal in a 1–0 win over Argeș Pitești, one in a draw against Oțelul Galați, and his final goal of the season in a loss to Vaslui.[4][7]

Farul Constanța

In 2006, Disney was transferred from Pandurii to Farul Constanța.[4][8] There, he started to play in European competitions, making three appearances in the Intertoto Cup, as they eliminated Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the second round, being defeated in the third round by Auxerre.[4][9] He made his Divizia A debut for his new club in the first round of the 2006–07 season, playing under coach Momčilo Vukotić in a 1–1 draw against UTA Arad.[4][10] Disney scored his first goal in the following round, a 3–1 win over Oțelul Galați.[4][11] Until the end of the season, he scored two more goals in a 1–1 draw against Național București and a 2–0 home victory over his former team, Pandurii.[4][12] In his only two seasons in the Romanian top-division, Disney amassed 50 appearances and scored eight goals.[4]

Late career

In 2007, Disney was loaned by Farul to Internațional Curtea de Argeș in the third league, helping the club earn promotion to the second league.[1][4][13][14] In the following season, he was loaned again by Farul, this time to CSM Râmnicu Vâlcea in the second league.[1][4][13]

Disney ended his career in 2013 after playing a few seasons in the French lower leagues for Vendée Poiré sur Vie and La Châtaigneraie.[1][3]

International career

Disney made his debut for Congo under coach Paul Ebondzibato on 28 April 2001 in 2–0 win over Madagascar in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers.[1][15] His next appearance, also during the same qualifiers, was a 1–1 draw against DR Congo.[1] Subsequently, he played only one game in the 2004 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.[1] However, Disney was an important figure for the team's 2006 World Cup qualifiers campaign, appearing in nine games in which he scored four goals, of which two were in victories over Liberia and Mali, and two in losses to Zambia and Togo.[1] In the following years, he played five games during the 2008 African Cup of Nations qualifiers and three in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, having a total of 21 appearances with four goals scored for The Red Devils.[1][3]
