Zizou yet again!

Real Madrid playmaker Zinedine Zidane was crowned FIFA Player of Year for 2003, for the third time after 1998 and 2000. The Frenchman was voted ahead of fellow Gaul Thierry Henry and Brazilian forward Ronaldo.

2003 proved a productive year for the French maestro. Real won the Spanish League title and France qualified for the Euro 2004 final with a perfect record of eight wins from eight matches.

'I am sure I will end my career at Real Madrid,' he said, 'It's the best thing I can do.'
