| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Roy Keane - The Saipan Incident During the summer of 2002, at a pre-World Cup training camp in Saipan, Keane and Ireland manager Mick McCarthy had a disagreement about the FAI preparations for the World Cup. Keane's dissatisfaction with the Irish preparations first came to light in an interview with Irish Times journalist Tom Humphries. Keane later alleged in his autobiography that he felt the Irish fans were "mocked" by the "lax attitude" the Irish FA took towards the preparations. After a team meeting at which McCarthy accused Keane of feigning injury, Keane is th ...

| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Hugo Sánchez - International career Despite huge domestic success, Sanchez did not have a similarly successful international career. He played 60 matches and scored 29 goals for the Mexican national team, but it coincided with a difficult period for the nation's football team. Mexico didn't participate in two World Cups that could have been very important for Hugo. He only scored one goal in the three World Cups in which he competed and was never elected to the Ideal World Cup squads.

| | | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Zinédine Zidane - Legacy Zidane is one of the soccer icons of his generation and is known to be modest, quiet and self-admittedly shy. He is married to a French woman of Spanish descent, Véronique, a former model and together they have four sons, Enzo, Théo, Lucas and newborn Elyas. As a Guardian feature article says, however, Zidane has also occasional flashes of aggression on the pitch. Such a display of aggression, Zidane showed when he was red carded for headbutting Stig Tøfting in a 2000/2001 Champions Leag ...

| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Hugo Sánchez - Beginnings While still very young, Sanchez played for the Mexico national football team in the 1975 Pan-American Games and the next year in the 1976 Summer Olympics.

| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Gordon Banks - England vs West Germany 1970 The day before the game, tragedy struck Banks and England's hopes of making further inroads into the World Cup were dented when he started to complain of an upset stomach. He subsequently spent long periods in the bathroom and despite rest and medication, he did not seem to be recovering in time. But on the day of the game, he offered a glimmer of hope to Ramsey when he said he felt better and asked for a fitness test. He caught a few balls and did some short sprints but something was not right and Ramsey decided he couldn't risk him. Bonett ...

| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Gordon Banks - England's No.1 1970-1972 Banks did not play in England's first game after the World Cup, with Ramsey electing to give his old understudy Shilton a debut against East Germany at Wembley. This would be a sign of things to come, but not for a little while. Banks would play in ten of the next 12 internationals as England tried to qualify for the 1972 European Championships but lost yet again to West Germany prior to the finals stage. During this period, Banks was also involved in a notorious incident with Manchester United's George Best who, while playing against Englan ...

| | | | | FIFA 100: Encyclopedia II - Gordon Banks - The 1970 Save against Pelé Playing at pace, Brazil were putting England under enormous pressure and an attack was begun by captain Carlos Alberto who sent a fizzing low ball down the right flank for the speedy Jairzinho to latch on to. The Brazilian winger sped past left back Terry Cooper and reached the byline. Stretching slightly, he managed to get his toes underneath the fast ball and deliver a high but dipping cross towards the far post. Banks, like all goalkeepers reliant on positional sensibility, had been at the near post and suddenly had to turn on ...
