On David Bowie's 50th birthday (all of, oh, 10 years ago), BBC Radio One did a nice tribute to him on which many of his peers were invited record messages paying him tribute. The only time DB got excited, emotional even, was when Scott Walker's brief words of praise were played to him. He said it was like God appearing out the window.
The phrase came to mind when I saw this footage of Zinedine Zidane messing around, playing football with some teenagers. I don't know the background. I like to think he just turned up out of boredom (he has retired, you know) and fancied a kickaround as a way of passing time before the omnibus of Eastenders came on the telly. The kids seems not too overawed, although if they were it might explain the quality of their performance.
Oh, I'm just being churlish.
