A statue depicting the infamous Zinedine Zidane head-butt on Marco Materazzi has been placed on public display in Paris. The work or art, by the Algerian-born Adel Abdessemed, can be seen in front of the Centre Pompidou modern art museum in the French capital. The incident occurred during the 2006 World Cup Final, which Italy won on penalties, and resulted in the former France and Juventus ace’s dismissal.

The greatest player to ever play this sport in my opinion. Such skill and class. I can't stand people who judge him based on the headbutt. Anybody who ever watched him play throughout his career knows the real zizou.
If you were to say the name Zidane to a fan of this sport, there is a good chance the first thing that would come to mind is the headbutt. Sad but true
