No I'm not getting carried away. I don't expect Igor will ever be good enough to hold down a regular place at Anfield but his emergence as a bloke with whom you can mention the words footballer and talent in the same sentence as is staggering.
To achieve 'Roy of the Rovers like' mythical status, a player would have to start terribly. He would have to over a period of time convince everybody that he was useless, the epitomy of the ineptitude of the previous management structure. He would have to be overpaid, something of a joke figure on the terraces. No problem there then.
This is the hard bit though, the player would have to stoically accept his lot, never once complaining or showing that the barracking is hurting him though we all know it probably is. Each time, when the team is read out and each player gets a roar, then through the subs and the inevitable groan when his name is read out. Don't show it hurts you son, dignity is everything.
Then the renaissance, like a pheonix from the ashes he rises, via some encouraging performances while on holiday in the States. Suddenly, belief and passion flows through his viens like an electric current. SHhhhhhhh, you can here them in the distance, those doubters, "igor,  igor, Igor, IGOr, IGOR,IGOR,IGOR.
All the way through, he bears the same look of the misunderstood man, like he never really knew what the fuss was about. Like he always knew that underneath all the comic performances, a footballer was itching to get out. In years to come whenever we sign a player who takes time to settle, people will say, "Hold back lads, reserve judgement. Remember Igor".

IIIIGGGGOOOORRRRRRR!!!!

[bigmick]

Me and Stu are not the same bloke. No honest we're not. 

[A.B.]

It brought tears to my eyes, lmao.

[Redrider]

He's already  in the 'Alternative Ledgend's Book'  Rather than 'Roy of the Rovers' Igor is a bit like 'Alf Tupper' the 'Tough of the Track' 

[zarababe]

..igor igor .. got a pic for ya too.. from the Legendry Hunk Zone.. yep he is in there too !

[Igor Zidane]

It really puzzels me this one.Houllier obviously sore something in this fella,as did a few other top teams ,so why the hell did he play him out of position so much,his confidence must of been at rock bottom. When he first come and played in centre mid,he looked a decent player. I honestly think he'll be pushing hamman for a starting place,and so it should be.

[Redrider]

Is that an XXXL shirt or has he gained some weight since then, he looks all skin and bone in that photo.

[jim_morrison_supported_liverpool]

do you remember that on our tour of the Far East, all the crazy pubescent girlies were chanting MICHAEL OWEN and IGOR BISCAN.  he was the second most popular!!!

definitely a cult hero now. there's never been a player like him at Liverpool who has provided such a "rags-to-riches" type thingy storyline.

if i ever but another Liverpool shirt his name's goin on the back!!!

[Redrider]

Perhaps the XXXL one is yours Jim.  

[Igor Zidane]

he always looks like he's just got out of bed 5 mins before kick off.

[ivor_the_injun]

I'm really made up for him. It must be horrible to have your own fans on your back, and the fact that he has just got on with it and let his football do the talking is a credit to both him and Benitez, who has clearly worked wonders for his confidence.

It would have been so easy to sell him for next to nothing in the summer, but instead here we are not 4 months on talking about him having a future in a central midfield where he's up against Gerrard, Alonso and Hamann for a place.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[Igor Zidane]

Igor deserves all the plaudits for turning his form around so far,i just hope he gets a decent run in the first team so hopefully he'll be able to step up another level if possible.Then we'll be able to say see mister houllier you did by someone worth the money you paid for him.

[simic_ie]

I really hope Igor turns out to be a quality midfielder for us. He might never be world class, and as long as we have Stevie and Alonso fit and ready then they are the first choice. But remember rafa is a big fan of swapping players around so Stevie and Xabi are not gonna play together all the time. But at the present time, I thin Igor deserves a starting place over Didi Hamman on form, even though Didi as done nothin wrong. Igor is already a cult legend, and more than anyone I'd love to see him prove everyone wrong.

[Igor Zidane]

totally agree simic_ie he's already a ledg in my book for coming out and showing us all what he's made of.Keep on fightin the bas****s IGOR(ZIDANE).
