Gubbi Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 A five-metre high statue of Zinedine Zidane's famous headbutt on Marco Materazzi has been unveiled in Paris. France captain Zidane was sent off in the 2006 World Cup final, which his team went on to lose on penalties, for headbutting Italy defender Materazzi. The bronze statue, sculpted by Algerian artist Adel Abdesseme, is on display outside the Pompidou Centre in the French capital. Real Madrid and Juventus legend Zidane retired after the game in Berlin. Materazzi has admitted he provoked Zidane by making comments about the France midfielder's sister. Zidane is now working as a sporting director for former club Real Madrid. Source:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19748545 --------------------- Some nice news for a change. I had to chuckle when I saw the picture in the news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Zidane is a great guy. What is he doing now? He should come to Shanghai and team up with Anelka and Drogba if he's not busy. btw, I recently had Anelka and his girlfriend (or wife?) crossing the street beside me. Funny.
