Marco Materazzi
From ARFOPEDIA
Arguably the most arrogant man in football, Materazzi spent his early career as a part-time player while he served as an advisor to his good mate Saddam Hussein, from whom he learned nonchalance and indefatigability. Devoting himself to football full-time after his mate's fall from power he promptly became absolutely fucking brilliant.
[edit] Trail of Arrogance
- not trying for Everton becuase of his inveterate hatred for Scousers
- scoring 12 goals in just 30 games for Perugia in the 2000/2001 season, a Serie A record for a defender
- scoring an own goal from the half-way line to rape some bookies and allow Empoli to avoid relegation
- claiming a first team place for the 2006 World Cup by giving Alessandro Nesta temporary Aids
- scoring in the final to become Italy's joint top-scorer.
- Dismissing and getting dismissed by Zinedine Zidane in one of the most awesome moments in football history. "Zidane said 'If you want, I'll give you the jersey later'. I responded that I would prefer his sister."
- scoring a bicycle kick for Inter against Messina.
- scoring twice to secure a 2-1 victory over Siena and Inter's first proper title in 217 years.
