Considered by many as a legend of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Zinedine Zidane did not leave an impression on the club’s supporters.
During the match organized for the 100th anniversary of Parc Lescure, Zinedine Zidane was undoubtedly the player most acclaimed by the public present in the Chaban-Delmas bays.
