Cantona, who was also born and raised in Marseille, played for Marseille in the 90's but he's on the top list of favorite players by fans. He's on my list nonetheless. Zidane is an example for everyone. We know that since he made it, we all can. Maybe not in football but in life in general.

As a lifelong Manchester United supporter, Fergie definitely made a mistake by not signing Zidane, not once, but TWICE. First in the summer of 1996, while Cantona was still playing and about to embark on his last season in football, which he himself didn't knew at the time, years later he lamented in the press, that he could have been teammate with Zizou at United (proving the fear Fergie had of of upsetting Cantona was unfounded), and that United scouts went to see Zidane play at Bordeaux, but for some reason, he had an off day on those occasions, in the season where Bordeaux had that amazing run in the UEFA Cup (1995/96) and where he was turning a free agent in the summer. And secondly, in the summer of 1998 (Zidane admitted in the press that Juventus and Manchester United almost came to an agreement), but the transfer finally fell through. But ZZ still remains one of the ultimate examples in sports, of how to make beauty and efficiency co-exist.

Saw Zidane against Leverkeusen and was in line with his strike to score THAT goal. A great game that the Germans would have won if it had gone another 15 minutes. The player of the game was Zidane. His body control was a marvel he could read the challenge coming and used the impact to position himself with the ball in the perfect passing direction. If two players tried to press him he would use the energy of the first impact to bounce himself into the other. He would thus remain erect and poised to move on having expended minimal effort and with two opponents in his wake. A marvel to watch.
