Why AS Saint-Etienne is not a club like the others -

20 Minutes

Victory, finally!

The Stéphanois put an end to 41 years of famine in the Marseille city last night by beating OM 2-0 at the Vélodrome.

The last time was in… 1979!

The opportunity to review the history of the Saint-Etienne club.

Who are the strongest?

Why AS Saint-Etienne is a legendary football club

Ten titles of champion of France (record of France);

six French Cups;

a League Cup.

AS Saint-Etienne is the most successful club in French football and one of the most popular!

The legend Michel Platini played there from 1979 to 1982. Just after Aimé Jacquet, adopted Stéphanois from 1961 to 1973.

Why the club colors are green and white

When it started in 1912, ASSE was a corporate club named

Friendly of employees


of the Casino Stores Company.

The club therefore sports the green color of the chain, and is therefore reserved for Casino employees.

Seven years later, it became the Friendly Sporting Club, then merged with the Forézien university stadium and was renamed the Stéphanoise Sports Association while retaining the Casino green.

And the Stéphanois still call their club ASS.

What is this square post business?

On May 12, 1976, the Greens went to the European Cup final and found themselves facing Bayern Munich.

The two clubs face off at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, where the goal posts are square.

On two occasions, the ball struck the post and the crossbar of German goalkeeper Sepp Maier, but did not fit ... Blame it on the square amounts of the cages of the old Hampden Park stadium?

In 2013, ASSE finally decided to ward off bad luck by offering itself the Glasgow poles for 20,000 euros, which are now kept at the Musée des Verts at the foot of the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Etienne.
