Shared similar events on world stage that sealed their fate, being pariahs of their countries. Fortunately with the one David, he got the backup and protection from the national and club managers to rebuild his reputation. Meanwhile, the other David, not so much, as his (then) national manager threw him under the bus.

    honestly, i think beckham is wildly overrated. not saying he was a bad player, of course not, but apart from his outstanding set pieces and crossing, he did not offer much to a team that other good mids of that era didn't. his workrate was average to questionable, his vision good but far from outstanding, and his decisionmaking somewhere between solid and catastrophic. he happened to play in a united squad that was outstanding and he had a manager that perfectly understood how to implement his strengths and cover his weaknesses, but if you compare him to the greats of that era, there are at least a solid 50 players i'd instantly rate higher than becks.

    The ironic thing - according to Ginola - is that when Houllier sent him on, his instruction to him was to do something to try to win the game (makes sense, as if you wanted the shut the game down with a minute to go, you’d put on a defensive player not a striker, no?!). So Ginola crossed the ball to do exactly as instructed, and yet Houllier vilified him for it!

    As a bulgarian this mistake of Ginola led to the best moment's in our country's football leading us to 4th place in the World cup, Balon'dor for Stoichkov and golden boot from the World cup for Stoichkov all in one year. This is the first time I hear that they blame all on Ginola and I am stunned of entire country's stupidity! The mistake with his pass is a fact, but blaming the goal entirely on him is crazy. The passes and the speed of our attack was pinpoint accurate and happens one in a million attacks, heck it even wasn't a counter just because the entire team of France was very well positioned in it's own half and only Ginola and few more were in our half. Also the shot from that angle was pure luck to enter under the bar with that speed, you can't blame this on one player.

Blaming one's own mistakes (being incapable of forming a group with talents that were unbelievable at the time) on the back of a 25 year old kid is inexcusable.

    @@chideraalexanderdex547 Ronaldo, the paragon of sporting vanity, lords his self-importance with the audacity of a tempest commandeering the vast, open sea. It engulfs every mortal ship of humility, leaving in its wake a barren expanse terrorized by his brash pronouncements of grandeur unrivaled. He is a gilded peacock, his radiant plumes unfurling in an ostentatious display of ego, casting an eclipse over the humble songbirds that share his stage. Each vibrant feather is an arrogant declaration, each strut, a testament to his supposed unchallenged supremacy, sweeps away all notions of modesty and shared triumph with a disdainful flicker. Ronaldo's arrogance is a towering inferno, relentless and salient, consuming the parched forests of modesty with the fury of his self-praised greatness. Amidst the smoky ruins left in its rampage, the tender buds of humbleness find no oasis. Instead, they wither, succumbing to the choking haze of his inflated self-importance. His ego, weighty and incessant like the Sahara dunes, encroach and devour the lush oases of mutual respect. It paints the verdant elegance of sportsmanship into barren scapes of haughtiness, where only the illusions of unity and camaraderie occasionally shimmer with deceptive luster. In the cathedral of his ego, Ronaldo thrones himself above all, wreathed in a halo of conceit. There, the echoes of his self-declared sanctuary turn the hallowed hymns of shared glory into discordant strains of I, me, and myself. His arrogance, a monstrous Everest, crowned by the regal clouds of self-worship, casts prodigious shadows upon the green valleys of teamwork. It's an Everest mightier than the rest, demanding attention, seeking devotion, its icy gusts freezing the tender roots of shared success and fair play. When one utters 'the best', it should be a serenade composed in honor of countless heroes whose sweat, passion, and unyielding spirits have carved an enduring legacy. Yet, Ronaldo’s solo performance rattles this harmonious symphony, transforming it into a harsh soliloquy, a narcissistic aria bellowed from the summit of his self-built pedestal. His words, dripping with hubris, tarnish the golden canvas of history, casting long shadows over the tales of many greats who have danced the dance of champions.

    Also from a trainers perspective - there is the entire midfield and defence behind the ball. Any of them could have stopped the counterattack with a tackle or a tactical foul. Blaming Ginola means giving them a pass on their mistakes. If a coach makes such a statement I would fire him right away as that statement basically shows he is not qualified for the job.

    As a Liverpool fan, I watched all the games when he was hired as an assistant manager to Roy Evans and all the games ever since. He did a really good job at the very beginning, sorted out the problems in the game discipline, fixed the issue with bad defense, introduced some great new players to the team and everything worked properly until he got a heart attack; after that point, he returned as a completely different person. The team started do play bad and game after game, Houllier was blaming everyone and everything for the bad results. At the end, he started blaming Liverpool fans which was embarrassing and totally wrong. That period in charge of Liverpool reminded me a lot to the end days of his ending era of the France coach - which reveals that he is very bad looser - once he feels under pressure, he has no problem to blame everyone else.

The fact that he won a trophy with a poor Tottenham team when Tottenham are the laughing stock of English football for continually blowing chances to win trophies says everything about him. Truly one of the best players I've ever seen and definitely one of the most entertaining. True legend!

    I have to admit, I never minded Houllier that much, but that comment about Ginola was absolutely disgusting from a manager. Imagine if an England manager had gone that far? I remember Hoddle said something briefly about Becks in '98, but he certainly didn't totally lambast him. What I loved about Ginola and Becks is that they didn't let it destroy them, they just got on with proving how good they were. Becks obviously won stacks of trophies at United and was one of the most committed England captains of the modern era, and as for Ginola, well the mark he left on the PL was unbelievable. Such a superb player to watch. Single handedly took apart the dominant United team of the mid-90s, and then turned Spurs into a side you actually wanted to watch. I still think one of the worst mistakes Kenny Dalglish made as Newcastle boss was getting rid of Ginola, but it wasn't surprising. Kenny liked his players that got stuck in, and Ginola was too flash for his liking. Such a pity for Newcastle fans.

    my favorite quote from this video is “the beautiful thing about Ginola’s game is that he never feared anything or anybody. And he never, ever played ugly football.” I only found out about him through the FIFA games but I believe he truly is among the best players in history. He chose the true nature of football instead of glory, despite him still getting glory. I don’t know how he won French player of the year despite being a target for all the French public. He truly was a gem that had a passion for football. I knew it once he won the premier’s player of the season despite not ending in a top four team.

I followed french football down to ligue 4 at that time, but i have to take some time to remember the period. The saga about Ginola ran longer than that on the national team.

As a Liverpool fan, I like Gerhard Houllier as a person, because he won us the treble in 2001 but he did Ginola dirty, but no one is perfect

    Thats how it was in the 90s though. The marketting was there, starting to take interest, but the public didn't get it and importantly... the managers didn't either. The exact same situation played out with Beckham. The moment he made a mistake he was absolutely crucified and villified for it because everyone was looking to bring him down a peg. Ironically, despite the fact they were relatively shit as a team, I feel like it was the Madrid Galactico's that was the turning point for the whole, celeb footballer thing when it suddenly stopped being a dirty, horrible thing to be a footballer AND marketable. Alot of it comes down to control. Club's couldn't really profit off the players marketability at the time, so to them it was just a distraction, and potentially an unsettling element (if you had a player that was a decent squad player, but insanely marketable, off doing all this work that makes him more money then everyone else in the team is getting, the annoys the best players since suddenly his earning more). Real put together a model that made the club shit loads of money from the image rights. Clubs followed suit and suddenly, the media stopped hammering them for it. And when the media stopped, the people stopped, because even though everyone likes to pretend its not the case, nearly everyone is influenced by the media they consume. And that media is beholden to the football clubs, because without keeping them onside, they lose lots of thier stories.

    C. Ronaldo is the only valid comparison considering those names you mentioned, though. Cristiano used to be called a choker back in the early 2010s and that he cared more about looking at himself than winning/scoring (yep, might sound weird for future people to read this). You don't see Mbappé and the others letting their ad campaigns be more talked about than their skills. Literally never saw anyone wanting to be a short skinny teenage looking dude like Gavi and Pedri, and Mbappé isn't a sx symbol either. Bellingham has good looks but he's still not popular enough to get to that level. None of them are sx symbols like Cristiano or Beckham.

    ​@@GamerFlairIt's important to say that even someone like Cristiano was criticized for caring too much about his celebrity status. In the early 10s, that was the case for him. He was getting mauled by a timid, weird and regular looking guy, and the public would often say "iF oNlY hE cOuLd FoCuS lEsS oN hIs FaMe". Cristiano in the 90s would suffer even more suppose because he wouldn't have Messi to push him further and playing the UCL was tougher back then (didn't win the league? Good luck playing UCL matches). But yeah, nothing like this. Beckham/Galacticos changed that (even though Beckham did receive some backlash for being worse than what his fame suggested). Ginola simply wasn't that guy as consistently as Cristiano and he played in the 90s, so he was unlucky. In the late 2000s and 2010s he would do better in this aspect.

    France butchering Ginola and Cantona's careers is a testamente to the absolute circus going on in that league during the 90s. And let's not even talk about Marseille corruption scandals. Everyday was another polemic and scandal. It was a beautiful thing. I was a young kid living 5 minutes from Parc des Princes and some of my early memories watching football was precisely that PSG team with Weah, Ginola, Rai, Valdo, Ricardo and a bunch of french internationals like Lama, Guérin, Le Guen, Bravo, Fournier etc. That squad was excellent and could play head to head vs anybody. That PSG and OM in the same league was something else. That short walk with my father heading to the games is one of my fondest memories as a kid.

    At that time, the French team was torn between PSG players and Marseille ones. It was a team made of two rival gangs and they disliked each others. Ginola made one mistake. All players do mistakes. But some mistakes are " ooups, I picked the wrong side and lost some seconds." and others are "oops, I picked the wrong side and the nuclear missile destroyed half of the country.". Ginola made that one.

I never understood why he was left out of France's squad in 96 and 98. That was so unfair! Gérard HOULIER was hailed by the French Press, but, seriously he was so horrible with Ginola. I'm sorry to say this, bit l never considered him a top manager. I just can't have a measure of respect for a man who refuses to take accountability for his actions. That's what Houlier did. He refused to take accountabiliy for a horrible qualifying campaign( the defeat against Israel crucial in knocking them out. Even against Bulgaria, 2 key losses at home). Had he not been French, who knows...
