They could not have been more wrong. From his very first game, Franck Sauz r e embraced the Hibs culture and quickly won over the fans. He proved that he was still a great footballer and helped to lead his new team from the mediocrity of the Scottish First Division back to the heights of the Scottish Premier League.

Hibs had been the first British side in European competition, reaching the semi-final of the European Cup in I was personally privileged to see Gods like Stanton, Joe Baker in his fleeting second coming and George Best wear the green jersey, and have watched live football regularly for 40 years all over the world. Franck "Dieu" Sauzee is one of the classiest acts I've been privileged to witness. There's little doubt that the fresh challenge reinvigorated Franck as a player. At Hibs, his legs may have been heavier than of old, but like all gifted footballers easing into the veteran years, he made up for this with his incredible vision and anticipation.

Sauzee invariably sensed exactly where the ball was going next and made everything look so easy. Instead of dictating from the midfield, he stepped back to do it from the sweeper's position, yet still loved to surge forward and was always a goal threat. Striding on to the park like a casual colossus, his presence was simultaneously an inspiration and a calming influence on those around him, both on the field and in the stands. Some players often appear bigger than their chosen sport; they have a grace and presence that seems to throw aside the shackles of its limitations.

Franck Sauzee possessed the bearing of a man who truly understood not just the beautiful game, but the world in general and his place in it. There is one incident that for me summed up the player and the man; the Edinburgh derby, Hibernian versus Heart of Midlothian, and Le God rising for a cross to send a powerful loping header from the edge of the box over the hapless Hearts keeper for a sensational goal.

The amazing thing was that while the stadium erupted, Sauzee himself knew little about this. His jaw had collided with a Hearts defender's skull and "Jambos" have very thick skulls indeed and as the ball sailed into the net he was knocked unconscious with his front teeth flying out on to the Easter Road turf. The crowd went delirious but in the strangest way; derby goal celebrations tinted with apprehension.

The question on all our lips: But the stunned Frenchman refused to come off. Receiving treatment and getting back on his feet, a vampire Sauzee gave a wave of acknowledgement to the crowd in a belated goal celebration as the stadium reverberated with the mantra "there's only one Sauzee". He then proceeded to give a masterclass as Hibs eased to a victory, wholehearted in his tackles, going up for headers as if nothing previously untoward had happened.

If there was anything that matched the sublime skills he displayed, it was his courage and enthusiasm for the Hibernian cause. Franck quickly grasped how much the Edinburgh derbies against Hearts meant to the fans, and he loved to beat them as much as any native "Leither", the name given to inhabitants of the old dock area of Edinburgh where Hibs draw much of their traditional and most fanatical support. It was probably playing central defence alongside archetypal Leith man John "Yogi" Hughes, an uncompromising hitman of a player, as different from Franck as chalk and cheese, that helped Le God appreciate the importance of the derby victories, and the crucial notion that they had to be won in style.

He would never be on the losing side against Hearts. Another sublime moment was his celebration in the 3—0 millennium derby win at Tynecastle stadium, when, following a great strike, Franck ran the full length of the pitch to carouse with the fanatical away supporters gathered in the stand behind the other goal. He also led the club to the famous thrashing of Hearts, the greatest derby massacre since Hibs' legendary victory at Tynecastle back in Hibs and Sauzee were unstoppable.

Engineered by Franck, they were inspired by the striking power of current manager Mixu Paatelainen, who grabbed a hat-trick, and Le God's soulmate in premium skilful football, Russell Latapy, the "little magician" of Trinidad and Tobago. Like most great love affairs, there was the obligatory tragic end. Hibs hit one of their periodic financial crises, and fan power cajoled Franck into taking the manager's post.
