In 2006, the legendary French player Zinedine Zidane was sent off in the World Cup final in his last game before retirement. In a shocking incident, Zidane had head-butted the Italian defender, Marco Materazzi. Witness speaks to Horacio Elizondo, the referee who showed him the red card. The programme is a Whistledown Production for BBC World Service.
