An ode to a hero

Its over...
Not only the cup, 'a time to make friends'.. but also the career of a man who at an age of grandpas in footballing terms almost outran, outfoxed, outjumped and audaciously put men, na, boys half his age, to shame...It was as if the clock turned back to 98 and he was the midfield marshall again..We saw the zidane of the two famous headers, the zizou of the champions league final who volleyed the galacticos home... it was a rousing swansong but i guess u cant get all you want... most of all i hope he wont be remembered for the second of madness but rather for what he stood for and represented in his life which centerd around the beautiful game...Lets celebrate zizou with his imperfections cos the man, the phenomenon, the Galactico, the Zinedine Zidane deserves it and lots more...
Farewell Zidane..
You will be missed.
