Zinnedine Zidane

One of the all time great players a head butt to an opponents chest caused him shame And with such a cloud hanging over him he retires from the World game A magician with the soccer ball his likes we may not see again He will always be remembered as the great Zinnedine Zidane. 'Twas an alleged personal insult that got him all fired up And with his dismissal went the great dream of France's second World cup But he will be remembered and football fans will long recall One of the all time masters of the World game of football. For one moment of loss of self discipline he must wear a lifetime taint But is there one amongst us who can claim to be a saint You will not find many people despite what some might say Who will turn the other cheek and from insult walk away. For his skills a lasting impression on so many he did make And his deeds on the football field from him one cannot take He will always be remembered as an all time great In the World game of football with the very best he rate.
