Zinedine Zidane: Forget that head-butt in the 2006 World Cup. Zizou, the balding playmaker, will always be remembered for the magic he wove on the soccer pitch in the 1998 edition, taking France to its first ever Cup victory. His two similar goals in the final was the stuff that legends are made of. Since Maradona in 1986, no star had captured a nation's imagination like Zidane. He instantly became a national hero back home. Merci, we say!. (Getty Images)
