Zinedine Zidane

Became a French hero after scoring two headed goals in the 1998 World Cup final, and ‘Zizu’ was undoubtedly the star of that competition, as evidenced by his capturing of the European and World Footballer of the Year honours.

This perfect attacking midfielder has wonderful dribbling skills, a superb passing range, an eye for goal, a sublime touch and aerial ability, and is a major threat from free-kicks.

Arguably one of the best players in the world, he has won two Italian league titles and one UEFA Super Cup at club level with Juventus FC.

He scored once in his six EURO 2000 qualifying matches.
