Stéphane Pierre Yves Guivarc'h (French: [stefan giva?(k)], erroneously [- giva??], Breton: [st?fãn g(?)ivar(x)]; born 6 September 1970) is a French former professional footballer who played as striker.
He featured in the France squad that won the 1998 FIFA World Cup on home soil. His early career was spent in France with the Breton clubs Stade Brestois and En Avant Guingamp before moving to AJ Auxerre, where he won Ligue 1 in 1996.
He returned to Brittany with Stade Rennais with whom he won Ligue 1's Golden Boot.
At a second spell at Auxerre he retained the Golden Boot in Ligue 1 and also won the Golden Boot for the 1997–98 UEFA Cup.
That Summer he won the World Cup. Guivarc'h left France for Newcastle United of the Premier League after the World Cup but left after three months having failed to make an impact at St James' Park.
He finished the season at Rangers FC of the Scottish Premier League with medals in the league and Scottish League Cup, of which he scored in the final.
He then returned to Auxerre before retiring after the 2001–02 season with En Avant Guingamp.
