The Football Ramble's Guide To... Zidane...

Stak
About this episode

Zinedine Zidane. One of the all time greats. A gyroscopic magician. A picture of serene perfection. But also a picture of serene perfection that might stamp on you at any moment. Or in the case of 2006, headbutt you in the chest. And very hard.


Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim take you back to one of most mental moments in football history, when one of the legends of the game - on the biggest stage of all - lost his head by using it.
