Houllier sued

FORMER France international David Ginola is suing Gerard Houllier over comments made by the national team's ex-coach in a recently published book amid a row that started 18 years ago. "Mr Ginola is suing Mr Houllier for defamation and slander," Ginola's lawyer said. In a book called "Secrets de Coachs" (Coaches Secrets), Houllier claims that Ginola said former Olympique Marseille players Eric Cantona and Jean-Pierre Papin were not worthy of a place in the team ahead of him. "When he says that Papin and Cantona should not play and that he should play instead... he is a bastard because every time Papin or Cantona touched the ball, they were booed," Houllier wrote.
