    I agree with DiStefano, Eusebio, and Cruyff of course, but Fontaine over Platini or Zidane? Good post Striker. Too bad we couldn't get together in Barcelona when I was there. Thanks again for being a friend of the show.

    Mando,
    Was disappointed not to be able to hook up. My professional life is a strong current, & its a miracle I still find time to do the blog - love of football I suppose.

    Perhaps I can do a questionaire for the podcast...answer you questions...

    Cheers

    Zidane should have been ahead of fontaine. No one has ever influenced the french national team like Zidane have done.
