Marco Materazzi Sgned Italy 2006 World Cup Final Photo - Framed

Italy won the World Cup after beating France 5 – 3 in a penalty shoot-out following a 1 – 1 draw at the conclusion of extra time. The match had been surrounded mostly around France's Zinedine Zidane and Italy's Marco Materazzi: Both were scorers in the final, and also embroiled in an incident in extra time that led to Zidane's sending off after he headbutted Materazzi. The incident was the subject of much analysis following the match. Italy's victory was their first world title in 24 years, and their fourth overall, putting them one ahead of Germany and only one behind Brazil. The victory also led to Italy topping the FIFA World Rankings in February 2007 for the first time since November 1993. Here is a 16×12 inch photo of the "Zidane Headbutt", signed by Marco Materazzi at a signing session carried out and attended by Allstarsignings in London, November 13 2022. The item comes with an Allstarsignings certificate of authenticity which will have photographic proof inserted into it.
