Someone's been cutting about the north of Glasgow for 20 odd years with a pair of Franck Sauzee’s boots. Now would be as good a time as any to hand them back in, if they don’t mind.
The big man is coming back to Hibs for the first time in 20 years next week and will feature in a charity match for the Hanlon-Stevenson Foundation. I’d bet he could still do a job in Lee Johnson ’s backline. Sauzee’s the best I’ve played with. Nobody I knew could lace Le God’s boots. But I at least had the honour of cleaning them when I was a youngster coming through at Easter Road.
That was until I lost his precious Copas on a trip home to Springburn one weekend. My pals back in Glasgow wouldn’t believe me when I told them part of my job was polishing the Frenchman’s footwear. Against my better judgement I decided to take the boots home with me one day.
