    I think Zidane has publised a book but actually I can't remember the exact title of it. I think the word "Victory" was mentioned.
    Do you guys have any info on that book? I read about it in an article but it didn't say when it was published, however, it seems that its talking about the 98 world cup victory, I am only guessing.

    Thats leads me to another point. I don't know if you people in France don't notice it, but It doesn't seem that Zidane have that Media or lets say memorablia things surronding him. For me, I didn't see a VHS on net about him. Or even an English book talking about his amazing achivments.

    Yes, I know Zizou alittle bit shy and don't like to be in front of cameras and flashes and these stuff. But a man like him should be afforded by things make people remember him in any time.

    Have any one seen a biography tape about him? or even a book in English Language?

    You're probably talking about this book:

    Zidane le roman d'une victoire
    ( " A victory's novel" is my translation, can't assure you
    that a translated version would be sold under this tittle)
    Writer: Dan Franck
    http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2221090195/171-9708030-2677044

    I haven't read it and don't know if it is available in English. I'll look
    for it later on and keep you updated if I find it.

    There are others, such as:

    Grands champions du sport : Zinedine Zidane
    ("The sport's great champions: Zinedine Zidane")
    Writer: Dotto Giancarlo

    http://www.fnac.com/Shelf/article.a...ID=06af0bfaa-6c08-e2b7-ecc5-6662cf4d4a10&Fr=3

    Haven't read it, don't know if it has been translated to English and
    available. The French copy is out of stock everywhere I've looked.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    Zidane, le roi modeste ("Zidane,the humble king")
    Writer: Jean Philippe

    http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/2841873803/ref=pd_sim_dp_1/171-9708030-2677044


    This one is available in French, don't know if it has been translated.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Revenons à nos moutons ("Let's get back to the subject", rough
    translation because it's an expression that doesn't litteraly translate...)
    Writers: Marc Deulceux, Zinédine Zidane

    http://www.fnac.com/Shelf/article.asp?PRID=1203516&Origin=CVFM&OriginClick=yes

    Also out of stock in French, don't know if it has been translated
    and don't know what it's about, I'll try to find out more.

    Oooh man, oooh man. What do i gotta say :).
    fishbiproduct, that's far than I expected to see. This is too kind from you, I really appreciate your help.

    About these books, It just make my wishes that I speak French get more and more and more. Unfortunatly, my English is horrible so how about french language that I only know one word "Merci" and I can say it to you know :).

    It means alot for me to find a book, a video tape or anything in English about the player that I admire more than any other one.

    Well, I am looking forward for your next posting. I really really hope you get some good news.
    Thanks again.

    There's a dvd that I am getting, called "Comme dans un reve", it seems really great and has English subtitles/audio. I think it has Spanish too, because there's is a Spanish version of this. It has specific interviews with him, (even with his wife) Laurent Blanc, a lot of other players, and it also shows Zidane on a training pitch just hitting the ball around, then speaking to the camera.

    *Amazon.fr could not confirm whether it has English subtitles.. but I am getting mine from Ebay and it does.
