Zidane- Thanks for the memories

Well i guess there'll be pages and pages on the farewell of zidane but here's my personal tribute to the greatest footballer i've seen.
Yes i know what he did in the final was wrong. Yes i know he shouldnt have done it, but i honestly don't care so much. One bad match doesnt change his legacy. He's still given me and millions of others some jaw dropping, "Wow i can't believe that could be done" moments.
The zidane pivot as i call has every kid trying to emulate it. I'll never forget the grace, the power ,the precision of his movement and passing. "Built like a brick layer with the grace of a ballerina" one commentator described him.
Sometimes i swear it seems like he's meditating on the field. The grace with which he moves makes you wonder whether he's running or floating. He may be the most creative footballer(along with ronaldinho).
He's humble and stays away from controversy(well almost eh?). He made a mistake. We forgive you zizou. Thank god we live in the same era as Zizou..
Zidane for ever............<
