FAMOUS

Zinedine Zidane is considered by many to be the best soccer players ever. Thanks to Real Madrid, he is one of the most expensive, having transferred from Italian giant Juventus for $66 million US -- a record that still holds. He led France to a memorable World Cup in 1998 by scoring two goals in the final.

Zinedine Zidane got off to a bumpy start for Real Madrid after his record $68.6 million transfer from Juventus. Amateur football accountants quickly began to suggest that the price paid for the French midfielder had been
a mistake. They could be right, Zidane might be worth even more. Let's audit his account: World Cup Champion, European Champion, Serie A champion, and now Champions League winner. Win or lose, his ability to bend a game in his favour the way he bends the ball around defenders has made this player the best one.
