Bixente tries abit of wrestling
This is one of the best stories I have heard in a long time. Lizarazu, known to many as one of the best left backs to have played the game, certainly in the modern era retired just a month after the famous Zidane. Many people do not realise just how good he was. He is officially the most decorated French player of all time!!! Yes he is, ahead f Zizou. Best thing about Bixente is that when he retired, he love for sport and fitness only got stronger. In particular his love for martial arts. He has spent many years since his retirement trying different discaplines and events such as wrestling and karate. Now (or earlier this year), Bixente was crowned European Champion at jiu jitsu at his particular belt and weight!!! What a sportsman.
