Zinedine Zidane Headbutt <img src="http://media2.ftbpro.com/post_image/image/1176537/file.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Every  player dreams of ending his footballing career in   the best way possible  and Zinedine Zidane had the opportunity of   captaining his country to  their second World Cup, eight years after   inspiring France to glory on  home soil. After scoring one in the final   himself, Zidane then  headbutted Italy’s Marco Materazzi after the   defender insulted Zidane’s  sister. The mercurial midfielder was sent off, as a result, and   Italy went on  to win the 2006 final following a penalty shootout. As   Zidane walked  off the pitch and past the famous trophy, it would be the   last time the  world would see one of the greatest footballers of his   generation in  what was the worst send off possible. 4. Jairzinho Lifts Pele <img src="http://media2.ftbpro.com/post_image/image/1176538/file.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  most iconic photo of Pele is of the Brazilian   striker being lifted up  by teammate Jairzinho after he scores the first   goal of the 1970 World  Cup final. The best footballer the world has   ever seen was the star of  the Brazilian side that romped to a 4-1 win   over Italy to secure their  third World Cup, meaning they kept the Jules   Rimet trophy. Pele’s  victoriously raised fist tells it all in what  would be his last  World  Cup, after first featuring on the world stage  as a teenager in  1958. It  is truly the lasting image that the world  will have of the  most talented  footballer to ever grace the game 3. Gazza's Tears <img src="http://media2.ftbpro.com/post_image/image/1176539/file.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Paul  Gascoigne, the 23 year old darling of English   football at the time of  the 1990 World Cup, endeared himself even   further to the public  following his performances at Italia '90. The   playmaker's fearless  displays earned him a place in the tournament's   All-Star Team, but it  was his tears which truly sparked "Gazzamania". After  receiving a yellow card in the semi-final to   Germany, Gascoigne had  tears in his eyes, realising he would miss the   final if England were to  overcome the Germans. This heartbreaking   moment was followed by more  waterworks as Gazza failed to hide his   emotions as England suffered  defeat on penalties. 2. “Embrace of the Soul” <img src="http://media2.ftbpro.com/post_image/image/1176540/file.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> One  of the most powerful images in the history of   football, an armless  Argentinian fan goes to celebrate with the players   following the side’s  3-1 win over the Netherlands on home soil in the   1978 World Cup final. The  photograph, which is widely renowned in South  America, was dubbed   “embrace of the soul” due to the man’s inability  to physically hug   Fillol Tarantini. Later reported to have lost both  arms as a boy, he   represented a nation that overcame politics and  depression at the time   to come together and rejoice in their first  ever World Cup success. 1. Hand of God <img src="http://media2.ftbpro.com/post_image/image/1176541/file.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> To  top off this mammoth list and officially the most   iconic photograph in  the history of football is Diego Maradona's   infamous "Hand of God" goal  against England in the 1986 World Cup   quarter final. The  Argentinian maestro openly used his hand to beat   Peter Shilton and put  his country ahead. Despite irate protests from   the England team, the  goal stood and Argentina went on to win the game   2-1, before eventually  lifting the trophy itself. Although Maradona   scored one of the greatest  goals of all time later on in the same game,   this goal is what stands  out in the memory. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" />Good Bye <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /></blockquote>
