Gérard Farison, former ASSE defender (412 matches between 1967 and 1980), suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for nearly three years, died on Wednesday in Saint-Raphaël in the Var. He was 77 years old.
Pure product of the Saint-Etienne school
This pure product of the Saint-Etienne school, a former trimming maker nicknamed “Tachan”, tough guy, has had an exemplary career in the green jersey.
A native of Terrenoire, where he then resided throughout his period at ASSE, he embodied the values of Saint-Etienne. The taste for hard work, tenacity, generosity.
