It's almost ten years since Franck Sauzée left Easter Road, a turbulent 69 days of management
bringing a passionate Leith love affair to an end.
Yet he's still revered by the green and white hordes (not all, but a hefty number). Gone but ever
more cherished.
Why?
Over the course of Ted Brack's account of the Sauzée era many observers – teammates, his former
manager, Hibs legends and ordinary fans – try to get the bottom of what it was in the
relationship between the veteran and the faithful that convinced so many supporters that there was
indeed only "one Sauzée.
Four games in the SPL today.
But I'm distracted by Sir Alex Ferguson's upcoming 25th anniversary as manager of Manchester
United. A phenomena. From Govan.
The SPL didn't even exist 25 years ago. We must have had football though, whatever they try and
tell us.
Must have had it because I'm sure Alex Ferguson left a top flight Scottish club to take over a top
flight English club 25 years ago.
