Considered by many as the greatest footballer of his generation. One of the most gifted and creative players of all time. He played at the attacking midfield position. 3 time FIFA world player of the year, 2 time UEFA player of the year, golden ball winner in 2 world cups are among his many personal achievements. He was a part of the french national team which won the FIFA world cup in 1998 and UEFA Euro 2000. His other medals include UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, World Club Championship, Spanish Premiera Liga, Copa Del Ray, Serie A among many others.
Yet his last match of his glittering career was his most infamous. Where he headbutted an Italian player in the world cup final only to be ejected for the match.

To do something poorly for the whole of a match, and then ambush the opposition in the last few minutes.
See England-France, June 13 2004, Estadio da Luz, Lisbon. Zinedine Zidane scores two late goals to sneak a victory over England, after England had lead for 90 minutes

Zinedines are often insufferable and incredibly boring men. They think they're funny but are often the only ones laughing at their stupid jokes. If you want to get along with a Zinedine it's simple, you just need to know none.
