Your team was, by and large, hellish and the fact that he could, it seems, pass a ball made him an absolute Hero to you vermin tramps. The fact is, he never done anything out of the ordinary on the park, and if you're talking leadership qualities, then i'm sorry but Turncoat Pressley by far exceeded him in that category over the past '20 years'. At the end of the day, he shafted you's for every penny after he'd punted your team down the table a bit. It's the equivalent of me hailing Vincent Guerin as an absolute footballing icon, just because he had an illustrious career and ended up at the JT's. Get over it.

I wouldn't say he was a great leader then sorry.(as his managerial reign showed) but he was different class for Hibs and was a class ahead of any other player in the SPL outwith the OF when he played for us.

Buffalo Bill Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think we have to accept that there was a couple of years at the start of the 00s when Hibs were on top in the derby games. Sauzee was a class act during that spell, athough he did miss (through injury) a crucial derby win for Hearts at the end of the 99/00 season. FS and Lapaty rarely (if ever) played a bad game against Hearts, sadly. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts Heritage Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Where did these Hibs fans get this notion from? Hats off to them for not having an inferiority complex, but in their case it’s misplaced. They are actually inferior. They’re living in a land of pixies where everyone’s happy in Happyland. Dolts. Point is, if Franck Sauzee's a legend, what does that make Alex McLeish? Who was it that bought Paateleinen, and got him to play the best football of his career? Who got Latapy? Who got that fighting spirit, the teamwork that a superior team must have to blow away inferior teams in a lower division? Was it Le Soze? Hardlement pas, je pense! No-one doubts his qualities as a footballer – he won a European Cup (and no stain should attach itself to Franck simply because Bernard Tapie bought Marseille’s victory with bribes and inducements) and his leadership on the park which brought the best out of much-inferior players alongside him was unsurprising. George Best made some decent Hibs players look damn’ good by passing the ball in such a way that they couldn’t help but run into space and control it. Sauzee was the same, and for a few months Hibs exceeded the sum of their parts. Now they equal the sum of their parts, and boy, does it show. Sauzee was great but not all that great – he wouldn’t have been at Hibs otherwise. A diamond looks much like another diamond if they’re in a cluster, but a single diamond set amongst a lot of quartz, rhinestone and tin seems to shine more brilliantly than it really does. Take away the diamond, of course, and all you have left is a bit of quartz, a rhinestone, and tin. And it’s starting to rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
