Person of the Day: Michel Platini

"Michel Platini (born June 21, 1955) is a French former football manager and midfielder, and current president of the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations).

Acknowledged as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, he was one of the best passers of the ball in his era, and was also an outstanding goalscorer for his position. He is the only player ever to win three consecutive European Footballer of the Year awards, and in 1999, he was elected the seventh-best footballer of the 20th century in a poll by the IFFHS. He is regarded as one of the most elegant players of his generation and as the greatest French footballer of all time."
