‘Bolser Man’ Saha breaks his jinx

LOUIS SAHA knows only too well how cruel football can be.

The former Manchester United striker’s injury record at Old Trafford was such that wags in the Stretford End rechristened him ‘Bolser Man’ while fanzines delighted in dreaming up ever more outlandish injuries for their jinxed No9.

A summer move to Everton on a two-year pay-as-you-play deal was supposed to breathe new life into Saha, once one of the Premier League’s most coveted talents, but his fortunes had shown little sign of improvement.
