Maybe sooner or later, can we get a video on Steve McLaren's Twente vs Martin Jol's Ajax in 2010. Ajax scored 106 goals that season and still didn't win the league with Luis Suárez and Pantelic. Twente won it with Bryan Ruiz and a young Luuk de Jong
Franck Sauzee was truly a fantastic player! I remember being blown away by the fact he signed for Hibs! I miss the days when Scottish teams were able to attract players like Sauzee, Cannigia, the deBoer brothers, Larsson, Ravanelli, etc! I mean, can you believe that both Cannigia and Ravanelli played for Dundee???
@@chriskennedy2298, I don't know if I would class David Healy as a big name player like Ravanelli or the deBoer brothers! He was a good player though!!
@@chriskennedy2298, sometimes you just can't tell when somebody's ripping it! So many people have kinda cult players that they love! But that's what I was thinking when I read your comment, I was like, I cannae remember him doing much up here! Although to be fair, he did have a couple of half decent runs down south!!
I don't follow Scottish football that closely but this is another great video, well produced, well told and not an inch of filler on it. This channel will be big very soon.
J'aimais beaucoup Franckie lorsque j'étais enfant, un très grand joueur qui avait une frappe de balle très impressionnante. Il n'a pas eu la carrière qu'il méritait en équipe de France. Merci pour cet hommage ! 🙏
Fun fact: Silvester Takač, one of the best players of his generation, was sold midway through FC Vojvodina's 66/67 season to secure money for stadium floodlights - aptly nicknamed Takač's eyes. Vojvodina would eventually narrowly lose to Celtic in the quarters of the European Cup - a loss many of us, Vojvodina fans, maintain would have never come to pass had Takač remained at the club.
As a loyal Saint-Etienne fan, I always liked Sauzée (in spite of my hatred for Marseille) and always wished he would join us at some point. Ardeche, where he is from, is a green Saint-Etienne fans territory (lot of sections of fans and individuals travelling to the St Etienne stadium at home and away, even in the ultra fans Green Angels and Magic Fans they have a good Ardeche contingent) it is about 80-100km distant from St Etienne, and a lot of St Etienne coal miners had ancestry in the villages of Ardeche. He would have been a massive hero for us. The volatile spoilt Marseille fans of the 90s were probably not able to appreciate such a great player as much as the Scottish fans. Glad he had his fame with a team that plays in green with a great fan base eventually. We have a saying in french "nul n'est prophete en son pays", which means you are sometimes becoming a hero far from home. Thanks for this documentary,
I learnt from him in the French magazine "Onze Mondial" in th early 90s that kicking the ball is not about how hard your feet or legs kick the ball but about your body position. It really helped me scoring some great goals and made me the free kick guy of the team. Thanks Franck ! Players from the French national team should take a look on this tutorial imho. I have to add he is very good at calling games on TV with is very specific Ardèche accent and calm voice.
magnificent, we didn't really know in France to what extent Sauzée ( who played in my club Montpellier ) had succeeded at Hibernians . fabulous, thank you .
1 - The corruption for Marseille is only for OM-VA a common match of league 1 (to avoid that the players are injured) and Marseille has been condemned. 2 - No real proof of corruption for the CL, the quotes from players are not proof, nobody buys Berlusconi the richest man in Italy, lots of allegations and defamation but not real proof and this why Marseille keep the CL and has never been condemned.
So true it's a fact and also Jean jacque Eydelie said for the French daily l'Equipe, which published Eydelie's statements: "There was a time when I made a lot of money from libel suits, in 1999 alone. I must have won 8 or 9 of them." It's shame to lie like that, especially since he tried to promote and sell his book with this false story.
His former team-mates were quick to react "It's really inappropriate and a load of rubbish, why talk about it now? Jocely Angloma was astonished, and also Franck Sauzée, a consultant on Canal +, was distressed "I sleep well every night, and my conscience is clear. It seems easy to talk like that 12 years later. I think Jean-Jacques is mainly looking for a source of income with this book. I tell myself that to act like that, you have to be in very bad shape as a human being," explains the former Marseille midfielder.
I am a very , very , very fan of Scottish Football since my youngers years and after traveling Two times over there , i fallen in love with Scotland . I still following the results of The Hib's , Heart's , Rangers and Celtic . I'm a 53 years old now . I do my first tattoo in my teenaging in Dunfermline during the 80's with an old Tattoo artist named J.Johnstone . Despite my old age , i still wearing my track jacket arboring the Saltire and the scottish banner proudly sit in state in my home . I'm eager to back in Scotland and stay a longer time . I would be very happy to sit in a Edinburgh's derby supporting the Hib's !!! and by my attendance , restore the "Auld Alliance" . Fantastic video with Franck Sauzée ! I saw him one time playing with National french team , France Vs Spain in Parc des Princes , 1991's qualifier match for the Euro 1992 . After opening score by Spain , Sauzée equalize before one of the most incredible goal of Jean Pierre Papin , the match finalized by a goal signed Laurent Blanc . Thanks a lot for this video and a very friendly salute from France !
Your videos are class. I didn't have cable tv back then. as a Celtic fan i just saw him when i was in pub & was Hibs v Celtic or Hibs v Rangers. I didnt realise how good he was. He was magic.
Un très grand joueur de l’OM et de l’équipe de France. Je ne savais pas qu’il avait laissé un si grand souvenir en Écosse. Je me souviens enfant, tout les gamins voulaient frapper les coups francs comme Sauzée.
I remember being at a Kilmarnock v Rangers game at Rugby Park I was in the away end a few rows down from Lionel Charbonnier, Killie brought on Christophe Cocard and played the French national anthem, Charbonnier was standing up like a band conductor while all the Gers fans in the stand were singing along to La Marseillaise.
Waddle's nickname at OM was 'Magic Chris'....however, even though he had 'Magical skill', apparently the nickname was due to his having video tapes of the Paul Daniels Magic Show sent to him from England to alleviate his home-sickness 🤣🤣
Thanks for this very nice tribute. He was one of the greats and he could still be involved as a coach or consultant like a few legends from this era. This video has been made by a true supporter.
I don’t know if you do requests but here goes; Please do a video on Jorge ‘El Magico’ Gonzalez, such an outstanding player who doesn’t get close to the respect he deserves. Judging by your past videos you will absolutely love him too if you aren’t familiar with him!
So glad that you made this video about a great player of my childhood, I didn't know exactly his career since he left France so thank you for getting me to know it :-)
When Sauzée signed with my hometown team Atalanta it didn't go well, we got relegated actually, but I've always liked his career as a footballer especially the time he spent in Scotland. Great video!
l'un de nos meilleurs joueurs a l'OM ! Franckie la frappe ! avec Waddle et Deschamps on avaient un milieu de folie capable de gagner la C1 ! merci franckie forever !
You're good at this! Jumped the turnstiles at Easter Rd, a fair few times to watch Frank. He was clearly the best player on the pitch, in every game, including Celtic and the now defunct "rangers'
One of my favourite players when I started supporting Strasbourg as a kid. I could also see Zitelli's shirt on the pictures. Great striker in Strasbourg but don't know if he was successfull at Hibs.
I knew his unbeaten run against us was coming up, 6-2 was at Easter Road, but he is up there with Larsson and Laudrup as the best overseas players in Scottish Football, and has my respect.
would love to see some more career stories of some other cult heroes from Scottish clubs like maybe Nadir Çiftçi for Dundee United the foreign ones are always very interesting. A career story of GMS could also be very interesting, a Brazilian stuck in a Scotsman’s body just like Davie Cooper!
How about a video on the Trinidad 06 team and their Scottish connections? Marvin Andrews , Jason Scotland, Colin Samuel, a fair few of that famous team found their feet in the SPL! 🇹🇹
Hey Mate, your videos are great, and enjoy tactical elements you fold in and wanted to ask if not to much would you do a video on Paul McStay at all ? Am a late 90s early naughties Celtic supporter myself but I'd love to learn how good he was but how unlucky he was also, especially under Tommy, god rest his soul 😢
Fitba was wild back then in scotland genuinely anyone could show up from real Madrid c players coming to livingston to champions league and World Cup winners to hibs lol
