Legendary footballer Zinedine Zidane has revealed he is 'not proud' of the famous headbutt which saw his playing career come to a disastrous end.

The former midfielder retired in 2006 after a stellar playing career, with his final match being the 2006 World Cup final between Italy and Zidane's France.

But the match would prove to be a sorry end to what was an illustrious career for Zidane, as he received a red card for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the second half of extra time, before Italy won the game on penalties.
