France Sauzee to play in HSF charity game at Easter Road

[Barnton Hibs]

I’ve heard from a former Hibs player that Franck will play in Hanlon Stevenson Foundation Charity game at Easter Road late November. If some of the names he mentioned are playing it will be a guaranteed sell out

Great work again by Hanlon Stevenson Foundation 👏👏👏

What are the names?

[Barnton Hibs]

What are the names?

Players from Scottish Cup and Both League Cup Winning Teams but Big Franck definitely playing and not a cameo appearance either

[gbhibby]

Should be a big crowd then looking forward to it.

[CentreLine]

Wow!! That’s some coup. Got to sell out

So, wonder if that'll mean Michael Stewart will be playing?

Yes, was announced back in April at his dinner :thumbsup:

[KWJ]

Will it be right before kick off that Sauzee graces the Easter Road pitch again or do we need to get in early?

Chances of him bringing Fabrice Henry? :greengrin

Hibs said he will be delivering the match ball so I guess it will be right before kick off and he won’t be speaking.

[MWHIBBIES]

Hopefully Hibs legends Lewis and Paul take a backseat, would hate for them to eclipse Sauzee.

[SteveHFC]

Confirmed.

Brilliant to see Le God on the hallowed turf today been far to long . He got an excellent reception from everyone that was there , it let Franck see despite the passing years what we all think of him.:flag:

That should put off exactly 0 Hibs fans. I'll be in Budapest on work duty sadly, otherwise would certainly have flown back for it

[NYHibby]

I haven’t been following things closely the last couple of weeks. Do we know why he appears to suddenly have a better relationship with the club after basically avoiding us for 20 years?

Obviously blamed the previous owners for his sacking.

[S4uzee]

Have the full lineups been announced?

[G15 Hibs]

Have the full lineups been announced?

Nothing yet, other than the teams will include members of Scottish and League Cup winning teams (not specific on which League Cup. I'd guess 72 might be pushing it a bit, but there's hopefully a few from 91 who could still kick a ball around for a bit and more from 07), guys that played alongside Franck and other Hibs legends. I guess names will be drip-fed over the next few weeks to encourage ticket sales.

Hibs have not brought him back.. it has been the team behind the Hanlon Stevenson Foundation that are driving this, the dinner etc.

Hopefully a sell out! Am I way off the mark that we could see the likes of Latapy, Mixu, Zitelli, Lovell, Laursen, Gray, Logan, Beuzelin, Zemamma, Benji, Murphy, Rob Jones etc (lots missing)

I’m more excited about this game than I have been for any game this season!

I’m hoping he brings Grant Brebner, David Murphy, Stuart Lovell, and Ivan back with him. Don’t think I’m asking a lot :greengrin

Looks like the north and south stands will be closed for this, they're greyed out when you go to buy a ticket. Also sales don't look very good at the minute either, hope they pick up cause the line up looks mint

It is still over a month away but it would be good to have a big crowd attend.

Too many other things to prioritise for remainder of month but will be buying 4 or 5 tickets once I'm paid at end of next week

Really looking forward to it.

[WeeRussell]

There will be a lot of people there (say anyone under 30) that will have grown up watching Deeks bang-in goals but only really have heard about Sauzee, or have faint memories/watched video clips.

A good few icons over the last few decades on one pitch will be a treat.

One of the Hibs icons for me that probably gets overshadowed a bit for the more exciting Hibs icons would have to be Gordan Hunter . What a centre half and Hibs warrior .Growing up at that time as a Hibby wasn't the easiest .Always remember Hunters goal put a end to our bad derby run.

Bought a couple of tickets today, doesn't look like many have been sold at all. Talk of a sell out was always wide of the mark, Sauzee or not but with only 2 stands open I expected them to be reasonably well filled. I know it's an ex-pro kick about, but I hope sales are going to pick up

Given it’s for a good cause I hope they sell a lot more tickets but for many the only draw was seeing Sauzee back on our pitch.

I've bought a ticket and I won't be seeking a refund as it's for such a good cause and I'm in the lucky position to be able to afford to make a donation, but there's a fair chance I won't travel through for it now. If Sauzee had been able to play I'd certainly have made the effort.

That thought had crossed my mind when I heard he had pulled out for health reasons but that the match was still going to go ahead as planned.

However although he was supposed to have been playing in the match, if he's been advised to never play football ever again he could have still come over and managed the team on a date when he was feeling better from whatever has caused him to pull out this time and come out onto the pitch before the game and met with fans etc and I'm sure that would have been almost as enjoyable for most people in attendance.

It's no-one's fault that it's happened obviously but I'm probably in the camp that thinks the event should have been rescheduled or at the very least had its name changed.

Aye that's true, but it's just maybes/what ifs etc.

I'm sure no one expects a detailed health report of his personal medical records but just a wee bit of clarity from the organisers as to why this game couldn't be rearranged with Sauzee making even a non playing appearance.
That would be welcomed by a few folk I know who've bought tickets for the match.

You can buy a package for entry to the Albion Bar for both the Sauzee and Middlesbrough games

[Eaststand]

It’s probably because it would be a massive headache trying to rearrange a time when all the other players could make it.

It could well be what you say, but Sauzee was the main headline act so his non appearance matters a great deal.

I've given my view that a clearer explanation about why a rearranged match with Sauzee attending can't happen would be welcomed.

And I'm of the opinion that a rearranged event with Sauzee attending, even making a non playing appearance, would have been better than the event going ahead without him.

Others may disagree.

It has had its name changed hasn’t it? Is it not the family reunion game now?

I thought it was still called Le Match but I've just checked and can see it's now called The Match so that's fair enough.

You can buy a package for entry to the Albion Bar for both the Sauzee and Middlesbrough games


"The Albion Bar is available to current membership holders in this area. Please ensure you are logged into your account to be able to purchase."

100% agree. This whole match was based on Sauzee. You go back a few months & advertise this with no Sauzee, the uptake would have been low.

I'm looking forward to this even though franck cant make it, mostly looking forward to seeing garry o, deek, Dirk,ivan and yogi, tam McManus aswell
Also a few players there the old mans told me about that I have seen play but was to young to remember, gordon hunter, Mickey weir, kevin Harper, stevie tweed and wullie miller
Plus a good few of our 2016 legends in there.

Would like to see pat mcginley added if it was possible amd as a previous poster mentioned, get matty jack in there !

It’s a Hibs game, with some great names from the last 15 years, it’s for a brilliant charity which supports a number of Hibs related stuff.

Get yourself down to ER for a couple of hours, have a few beers and a catch up in the pub afterwards.

[The Pointer]

Any update on who's 'playing' and how many tickets have been sold?

I was thinking of booking hospitality but have been to a couple of charity games where the crowd was disappointingly low and don't want to feel I have to hoover up the buffet if there are only half a dozen of us. I'll be Billy No-Mates again anyway but would like to get some autographs for my Cup Final programme.

Welcome back Budgie.

The former Hibs shot-stopper is looking forward to returning to Easter Road.

He said: “Whatever anyone thinks, I’m fit enough to play the full 90 minutes. I know it’s a charity match and meant to be a bit of fun, but I won’t treat it like that. I’m there to keep a clean sheet because that’s my job!

[MikeyS]

Cannae wait to see if he can still swing up and sit on the cross bar.

[SON OF PADDY]

It will be great to see Budgie back, the guys an absolute legend. 🙌

[PaulSmith]

On the game itself we need to forget about the current poor run of form and see this game as being an opportunity to welcome back some old hero’s plus raise money for a charity which should be close to our values.

For me it’s no brainer to attend and hope thousands of others feel the same.

You could say the same for Murrays testimonial. Pires & Viera playing & the crowd was $h1t3. Mind you Murray didn't deserve a testimonial.

This was the billed as the return of Sauzee, he's not returning so the interest will have dropped of a cliff.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

East is as good as empty, could fit all those sold into one block, West a bit better but entire ticket sales to date would fit comfortably in the West Lower, disappointing.

[marinello59]

Not surprising though. These ‘legends’ games are usually played on lesser grounds. Once Sauzee dropped out it was always going to be a hard sell.

[duffers]

I’m sure this has been covered but just looked at the sales and it’s pretty disappointing to say the least. Obviously Franck missing is a blow, but that aside, they have still managed to pull a good squad together and would have expected a good few more seats to have been sold.

Contributing to a brilliant charity, watching some great Hibs players and supporting the Hibs family who have pulled this all together.

Folk will find an excuse not to go if they want. I’d hope those with negative thoughts came just hold their tongue and recognise the great stuff that this game will contribute to.

[B.H.F.C]

Shame there won’t be much of a crowd as it’s for a good cause but was always going to be the case as soon as the news came out about Sauzee.

Stubbs is still something of a draw for obvious reasons.

I find this a bit of a catch 22 - I want to go because of the guilt of not going, but would almost feel uncomfortable being part of such a low crowd because those involved can't help but be aware of the turnout.

There's been zero publicity this week as well, sadly. As crass as it sounds, maybe, would be fitting to mark O'Rourke's passing too given it's another month until the next home league game.

[DaveF]

I've got 2 tickets but can't go anymore. Happy to pass on to anyone who does want to see it.

[Potty78]

Looking forward to it, like most gutted no Sauzee but there are cup winners involved from 3 trophies in my life time. I dont get if sauzee ain't playing I'm not going. But each to there own

Have you read some of your own posts recently. Bit of a cheek to talk about some having negative thoughts. Charity games like this would normally only get a few hundred watching. Without the star attraction they will struggle to get the fans that were initially expected.

That's exactly the reason I'm going! The "Johnston out" banner is all ready to go, the pitchfork is sharpened and the aeroplane is all booked and ready to fly over the stadium. Its a perfect setting to vociferously make one's feelings known. No time like the present. Can't wait!

Normally only restricted to members only on busy match days, it won’t be busy on Sunday so I’m sure you’ll be ok. Might be worth checking with them though if the main Hall is open otherwise might be over 18’s only. Not sure what the rules are regarding kids when the Hall isn’t open.

Just had a quick look on e-ticketing - nearly all of section 4,5,6, 47,48,49 are sold out and a fair chunk of 7 have gone too

Only Section 41 in the East looks anywhere near selling out

Season tickets aren't activated for this game you should have received a ticket.

Cheers for reply bud Just checked my eticketing account, says print at home/digital tickets at the bottom, I'll contact the ticket office and see what the go is as I cant remember receiving any email with tickets attached.

Can you not login to your online ticket account and download them from there?
