Franck Sauzée

[Carheenlea]

Saw this on Twitter today from Edinburgh based Milestone Event Management.

Something in the air and a step closer to an Easter Road return perhaps..?

Yep and it’s an old picture, at least a couple of years ago.

Right - just wondered if he was involved in setting up and arranging the dinner.

Hi folks,

Hopefully by now most people have heard the news. We're so excited to be able to confirm that we'll be hosting a dinner with Franck Sauzee for the benefit of the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation.

Franck previously agreed to become an HSF ambassador and had hoped to make the trip a lot sooner. So we're all looking forward to making up for lost time.

We're hoping to be in a position to confirm exact details soon, so your best bet is to keep an eye on our social media channels (links below) and I'll make sure there are updates posted on here.

On a personal note, Graeme Cadger deserves a lot of credit for making this happen. He'd never take any credit himself, but he's the driving force behind HSF and this was one he didn't give up on. Think it's fair to say we're all delighted he persevered, as Franck's return to the Hibernian fold is long overdue. Graeme was aided in his endeavours by Alex McLeish, who has maintained a close relationship with Franck over the years.

It's going to be some night.

Maybe a Zoom opportunity for the organisers?

See all my Jambo pals getting over excited about a night with Rudi. This news just puts it all in perspective a night with a real superstar.

Is he working the bar again?

They really should, good way of bringing in more donations I think.

Just spotted this - L'equipe summary of the players rated 10/10 in matches by them. See who's top of the list. The summary of the match was:

Franck Sauzee – France U21s vs Greece U21s, 1988
France won the 1988 Under-21 World Cup before the senior team did so a decade later, but the standout player in the 1988 final against Greece wasn’t one that would go on to feature in that famous Les Blues team, unlike team-mate Laurent Blanc.

France’s Under-21s had been held to a goalless goal draw by Greece in the first leg of the 1988 final, but in the second leg a 22-year-old Franck Sauzee was the outstanding youngster: he scored two absolute thunderbolts to put his team ahead and was generally a menace throughout.

He went on to receive 39 caps for the national team, the last of which came in 1993, as he spent the majority of his club career as a Ligue 1 journeyman before ending it as a cult hero for Hibs at the turn of the century. Famous Hibbees fanatic Irvine Welsh even penned a love letter to him.

He certainly left an impression at L’Equipe: in a list of the 100 best ever French players published in 2018, Sauzee was named ahead of Paul Pogba and Nicolas Anelka in the ranking.

Amazing to think we were lucky enough to see him play for the Hibees.

I subscribe to L'Equipe and they hardly ever give anyone 8/10, famously stingy. The last 10/10 i can remember where i watched the game was Tadic for Ajax in the Champions League quarters i think against Real.

Rivaldo must have got one for THAT hattrick

That's the link from the 1988 y21s final. His 2nd goal looks very like his millennium derby goal

[brianmc]

Re Rivaldo: Injury time overhead kick winner to clinch a game 3-2 (whilst completing a hat trick AND claiming Champions League qualification) is probably work 10/10

May have been used for le God as well, but in my recollection this song was sung for Zittelli

Does anyone know if he will attend a game while he's over? Apologies if covered.

My memory was, when the ball hits the net like a French Exocet... that's a Sauzee, although I could be wrong. It would not have been very PC due to Argentina using them in the Falklands against the UK with the loss of 32 lives, but I'm pretty sure that's the words I remember.
