One of football's great myths is that three-time World Player of
the Year Zinedine Zidane was rejected as a teenager by
Tottenham.
The World Cup winner, who played for Real Madrid and Juventus, was
supposedly branded 'too wooden' by Gerry Francis.
But when Zidane was asked about his widely-discussed trial in north
London this week, ZZ looked baffled and spluttered "who?".
His translator apologised and explained: "I don't think he has
heard of Tottenham Hotspur."
