Materazzi: A True Underdog Story

Some know him as the Matrix, some (in France) know him as the most hated man in football. Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti review the life and times of Marco Materazzi. Derided by many as a red card or a penalty waiting to happen, Materazzi ended his career as a World Cup and treble winner. We all know what happened with Zidane, but in this Golazzo, with the help of former Everton team-mate Don Hutchison, we examine the man behind the Materazzi myth.
