After hanging up his boots, Bacary Sagna found an innovative venture in selling £200 “weightless rucksacks.”
Partnering with French company Gravipack after a serendipitous encounter with founder Mohammed Errafi, Sagna has invested £220,000 into this backpack business.
His experience carrying a heavy load during his years with Arsenal and Manchester City translates to his new ambition of helping others travel light. Apparently.
Sagna’s excitement about his new journey is evident. He’s joined ramblers groups and hiked the French countryside to showcase Gravipack’s products.
French TV, he proudly stated, “This is the biggest challenge of my life outside of football.”

Henri Lansbury is not completely separating himself from the footballing world, as ‘Grass Gains’ is already making strides on Champions League pitches.
Collaborating with former Arsenal groundsman Mark Pettit, Lansbury plans to offer local clubs lush, striped pitches. “I want to give back to the local clubs really,” he expressed.
