GRAEME LE SAUX is hoping to celebrate Spanish Cup success on Saturday with Real Mallorca.
The former England, Chelsea and Blackburn full-back will be in Seville as the La Liga side faces Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final.
Mallorca, who are 15th in the Spanish top flight, last won this trophy back in 2003 – so it is a huge moment for the team.
The Jersey-born ace has been officially involved with the club since 2017 in his role as a non-executive director.
But he advised the ownership – which involves ex-NBA star Steve Nash – on sporting matters prior to that.

Le Saux, 55, does not attend all league fixtures but has a strong bond with the Mediterranean island, which he has visited for several years.
It is understood he acts as a conduit between the board, ownership and sporting side of the club.
This includes advising, negotiations and supporting across business and culture.
As a player, Le Saux came up against Mallorca in the 1999 European Cup-Winners’ Cup semi-finals but it ended in heartache as Chelsea were beaten 2-1 on aggregate over two legs.
Le Saux made 312 appearances across two spells at Chelsea after initially coming through the club's academy.

He won the league with Blackburn and had a spell at Southampton, making 403 top-flight appearances.
The former full-back also won 36 England caps and featured at the 1998 World Cup.
