On Zizou, he's got half the caps DD has and hardly ever captained at club level

Great 2006 campaign and showed great leadership until he snapped

Personally I'd have DD, Platini and Desailly ahead of him, they captained their country for over 10 years

As much of a cretin as Martin Johnson was/is, he was a great captain.
