Little souvenir of the day still made in Lyon or Saint-Etienne … Heading to 1994, a young boy began his professional career. His name still doesn’t say anything to anyone, but it will soon be sung by a whole generation. Grégory Coupet begins his long and endless series of meetings in the jersey of AS Saint-Etienne against SCO Angers. Long before shining in the Champions League with OL, the French international doorman participated in 96 games with the Greens between 1994 and 1997. Then, the goalkeeper will find the team that will guide his seasons, Lyon. This March 26 will see the birth of a football star from Rhone and the country.
