  • Zinedine Zidane Voted Top Player by Fans
    Media Release Date: 22/04/2004 Communiqué aux médias No. 063 Medien-Mitteilung Zinedine Zidane voted top player by fans uefa.com users vote Zidane, Beckenbauer and Cruyff as top three The search to find European football's top player from the past 50 years ended today, Thursday 22 April, with the announcement that French international midfielder Zinedine Zidane has beaten off competition from German great Franz Beckenbauer and Dutch master Johan Cruyff, to be named number one by the users of uefa.com. The announcement, made at the UEFA Golden Jubilee ceremony, which opened the XXVIII Ordinary UEFA Congress in Limassol, provided much discussion among the assembled delegates and football representatives, especially with Beckenbauer in attendance. "Just to be in the top 20 is touching, it's great," said Zidane, who provided a message via video from the Spanish capital. "It is extraordinary to be voted one of the best European players of the past 50 years. I am a bit surprised, but I am very glad that people appreciate what we do on the pitch. “I am bracketed with those players that have made a difference in the last 50 years and when you play football, this is the reason you do it. For me, football is everything. It was my biggest passion and something I always knew how to do best. Even today, practically at the end of my career, I enjoy playing football. It is a privilege." No formal award was made to Zidane, although as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of both UEFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), UEFA will provide a donation to a Youth football development fund being administered by the AFC in order to help install an artificial turf pitch in East Timor, which will be named after the France and Real Madrid CF midfielder.
