Bixente Lizarazu Biography

Bixente Lizarazu is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on December 9, 1969 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Nouvelle- Aquitaine, France.

An enthusiast in several sports from a young age, Lizarazu began his professional career with Girondins de Bordeaux, joining the club’s youth setup as a 15-year-old in 1984 and initially playing as a winger. After being told he would not make a career from football due to his frail physicality as a teenager, he impressed the staff with his determination and became a member of the senior squad in 1988 alongside forward Christophe Dugarry. He was retrained to play as a counter-attacking left back at the suggestion of coach Didier Couécou and soon replaced the veteran Gernot Rohr (later to be the club’s manager) in the position.

In 1990 Bordeaux finished runners-up in the French championship, but the following year they were administratively relegated amid financial problems. Lizarazu remained with the club and helped them immediately regain their top tier status in 1992. The club also signed Zinedine Zidane, who became another important element of the team, which went on to achieve two 4th- and a 7th- place finish over the next three seasons, Lizarazu contributing 101 appearances and 15 goals.
