Totally Extra: Zinedine Zidane - is he all that?

Jimbo is joined by Julien Laurens, Tom Williams and Michael Cox to celebrate Zinedine Zidane ahead of his first match as France manager.

From the banlieue of Marseille to world champion, Zizou won it all as player and a manager and yet managed to remain enigmatic and mysterious.

Famed for his languid style and otherworldly first touch, he won league titles with Juventus and Real Madrid and helped France to win the World Cup and the Euros back to back.

But was he consistent enough to be considered one of the all time greats? And as one of you asked 'was he all that'?
