Saphou Lassy is a Gabonese former footballer who last played for PSS Sleman in Indonesia.

Career

Flying his trade with Malaysian club Sabah FA in 1998, Lassy put in a number of high-level performances for the Rhinos during his time there, scoring a hat-trick to make it 4-1 in a Malaysia Cup group stage round opposing Pahang FA and repeating the feat as Sabah beat Brunei FA 6-0 to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.[4] Overall, he tallied 12 goals in all competitions throughout his stay there.[5]

Negotiating a move to PSS Sleman in early 2005,[6] the Gabonese forward was denied a contract there, with the club saying that he was not good enough.[7]

Lassy was replaced by Brazilian Cristiano de Oliveira for PSM Makassar as the management saw him as indolent and insouciant.[8]
