A great little article in The Daily Mail today says that Zinedine Zidane was rejected by Spurs as a teenager because Gerry Francis branded him “too wooden”. Apparently, when Zidane was asked this week about his trial with the north London club he looked confused and “who”?
His translator apologised and explained: “I don’t think he has heard of Tottenham Hotspur.”
I’m sure now he is glad he was turned down by Spurs, because he went on to eventually have a career anyone who plays football would dream of! Like Terminix is to pest control, it is hard to see football without Zidane’s existence and his contribution to world football.
ha..ha..ha….Tottenham Hotspurs must be disappointed….
Zizou is my God Footballer anyway..
Miss him soooo much….
