It is not because he is no longer the coach of the AJ Auxerre football club that Guy Roux is not interested.
On the contrary, even: while he will celebrate his 84th birthday on October 18, the native of Colmar does not miss (almost) any match played – at home – by the team he coached from 1961 to 2005!
Football (and AJ Auxerre) fan since 1943
Today, this emblematic retiree attends the reception of the "rivals" of Olympique de Marseille.
“Of course I support Auxerre, specifies Guy Roux.
But here, I'm going to bring a ticket to Basile Boli, who played here and at OM, of which he is "ambassador" ”.
Winning the stands is not an easy task as admirers crowd around "the icon of Abbé-Deschamps", who is asking for a selfie, who is begging for a kiss or a handshake...
“Guy Roux is a very great character!
“Confirms Benjamin Nivet, former AJA player.
But above all a big football fan: “I've been going to see matches since I was 5 years old!
I started in my village, in Appoigny, in 1943. At the time, there were German soldiers in the stadium.
I have never stopped seeing matches since”.
And it's not the evening's defeat that will make him change his habits, especially since a stand “is called the 'Guy Roux stand';
But well, for all that, I am not given a percentage on the tickets”, laughs the one that the Guignols de Canal + had affectionately nicknamed “Grippe-sou”.
