Following Kuzi's footsteps: if Messi, CRonaldo and Moanin' Ho get their thread, I think it's only fair for football that the living legend that is Zidane gets his own man-love corner. I think this picture illustrates my point pretty well.

So... to get this started, Zidane having fun after retirement.

Legend... of course he deserves his own thread...

He has never been one of my favourite players though, only for his choices in clubs. Jube and real merda. Wished he had played with us. I'm sure we have been linked to him sometime in the past :D

How long before someone brings up the headbutt incident?

Edit: I should refresh my page more often before posting. :D

Yeah, I have to agree his team choices were questionable at best, but his play was just too damn sexy. Made it look easy.

Honestly he was too gentle with Materazzi:D

I mean since he knew he was gonna get a red+would retire a right or left hook even some kicking should have been added:tongue:

Gooooooooooooo Zizou!

One of my fav. player of all times, a genius, unique in a way that he doesn't need 'speed' to get pass by people while his vision is unmatched accompanied by flawless technique and determination of a leader, that is why he perfomed very well till age of 34, embarrassing all the Brazilian super stars.

perhaps my favorite non milan player alongside riquelme. this guy makes football look like child play, he plays it with such ease and yet his vision can hardly be ever matched. and his materazzi headbutting makes him even bigger legend :star:

One of the best ever... and definetly one of my fav players ever. I remember he got me supporting France during Euro 2000 solely because of his genius.

I see minor similarities between him and Gourcuff. However, like i said, minor. Zidane's talent and skill is breathtaking. I dont think there will ever be a player that can play as smooth as he did.
