Michel Platini Best French National Team ~ Top Greatest Player Football

Michel François Platini (born June 21, 1955 in Jœuf, France) is a French former football player, manager and current president of the Union of European Football Associations.
Platini was a member of the French national team that won the 1984 European Championship, a tournament in which he was voted the best player and top goalscorer. He participated in the 1978, 1982 and 1986 World Cups, reaching the semi-finals in the latter two. Platini, Alain Giresse, Luis Fernández and Jean Tigana together made up the "carré magique" (French for "magic square"), the group of midfield players that formed the heart of the French national team throughout the 1980s. He is also widely regarded as one the best passers in football history as well as one of history's greatest free kick specialists and finishers. He holds the record for most goals scored in European Championship final tournaments despite only appearing in one such tournament (1984).
Platini was named Chevalier (Knight) of the Legion of Honour on April 29, 1985 and became Officier (Officer) in 1988. He was the French national team coach for four years, and was the co-organizer of the 1998 World Cup in France. He has also been the chairman of the FIFA Technical and Development Committee, and vice-president of the French Football Federation.(Wikipedia)

Michel Platini in 1997

Three times European Footballer of the year and probably the best footballer to have been produced by his country, Michel Platini led France to two World Cup semi-finals and to the title during the 1984 European Championship. With Juventus he won the 1985 edition of the European Cup. One of the greatest passers of the ball in the history of the game, Platini was an archetypical #10, who orchestrated attacks, scored his share of goals, and was also a master of the free-kick, a skill which he perfected using a row of dummies during training.(football-history.net)
