While Zinedine Zidane should perhaps be remembered for some wonderful football skills, it is regrettable, and self inflicted, that he is in fact best remembered for the infamous headbutt against Italian Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup Final. Not something that should be celebrated you would think, but that is exactly what the French have done.
Erected outside of the Pompidou Centre in Paris is a brand new five meter high bronze statue of that disgraceful episode.
Whatever next I wonder. Perhaps a statue of Vinnie Jones putting the squeeze on Paul Gascoigne?
