		Another former FIFA World Player of the Year, in both 1998 and 2000, Zidane has naturally slotted in well among the superstar ranks of Real Madrid CF after his record-breaking €73m summer move from Juventus FC.
		It has been a relatively quiet year on the international front, not least because his efforts in helping France win the 1998 World Cup meant there were to be no qualification matches for next summer’s finals.
		Baggio, at 34, is still one of the most influential players in Serie A. The ponytail remains, along with the promise of goals - he has scored seven in eight matches this season for Brescia Calcio, one of Italy’s more modest sides, after netting ten in 25 for them in 2000/01.
