Description
1992 Panini Football Zinedine Zidane Rookie #43 PSA Mint 9 - Pop Five, None Higher! At 14 years old Zinedine Zidane left home to join AS Cannes for a six-week training program, but stayed for the next four years, then moving on to Bordeaux followed by Juventus, establishing himself as one of Europe's top tier players along the way. In 2001 Real Madrid was pursuing global superstars, signing a new one each year. Dubbed the "Galácticos" era, Zidane was the newest acquisition, signed for a then record fee of 76 million euros.On the international stage Zizou was a key playmaker for France. When the country hosted the 1998 World Cup Zidane scored two goals during the tournament, both in the first half of the Final match against the defending champions, Brazil. France won their first ever World Cup and Zidane was named the man of the match, instantly becoming a national hero. Leading up to the 2006 World Cup several veteran players retired and Zidane was coaxed out of his own retirement.
Millions of people around the world remember Zinedine Zidane for being one of the greatest soccer players of all time, but there is no denying that for millions of others, he is remembered for a single split second decision; headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi during extra time in the World Cup Final. After Zidane was issued a red card in the 110th minute, France lost to Italy in a penalty shoot-out. If you thought that French football fans would turn on their hero, you'd be wrong. When he returned to France is was to chants of "Zizou! Zizou!" Offered is his 1992 Panini Football rookie card. Graded PSA Mint 9. One of only five examples graded MINT with none higher!
