OT: I met European Football (SOCCER) star Zinedine Zidane

[domino2012]

Ok, many of you will say WHO????
Well, he used to be a MAJOR star in Europe (still is actually) and played on the French national team. Some even might remember the Final against Italy at the last world cup and what he did (justified reason just wrong place to do it).

Well, I went to Madrid for business last week and he was on my plane. When arriving in Madrid, I talked to him for a few minutes, got his autograph (not scanned yet) and a picture of course. He was really nice. I did this before the rest of my plane saw him in a quiet area. Afterwards, others started to recognize him and things started to get out of hand. EVERYONE wanted a picture. I felt sorry for him and kind of guilty too since I was the first to ask. Again, others hadn't seen him yet and it's not my picture that got their attention. He had to wait for his luggage like the rest of us and people just started to notice him.

Anyways, here's the picture. (scroll just a bit to the right)

Pretty cool. Imagine meeting one of the biggest stars in the game... that's kind of what it compares to for you since you may not know who he is.

Well, thanks for looking. See you around!

Great story thanks for sharing.
As a huge soccer fan, I nearly crapped my pants when this came in the mail 2 years ago.

I can already say this: his auto hasn't changed except now he writes "Zidane" just above the signature. Cool card!!!!
