Jean Tigana was a central member of France's terrific side of the 1980s.
He was part of the famous French midfield of Alain Giresse, Luis Fernandez and Michel Platini, which became known as 'the Magic Square'.
Together they won the 1984 European Championships with France and took the national team to fourth and third place finishes in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups.
He spent his entire club career in France, starting out at Toulon before enjying successful stints at Lyon, Marseilles and most notably Bordeaux. Hence the French domination in his ultimate team.
Here is his best ever XI...
Goalkeeper - Joel Bats
He was the goalkeeper for the national team. He was very quick. He was not very good in the air but very quick and very clever. He was one of the first goalkeepers who liked to play with his feet. He was a very technical goalkeeper.
Right-back - Patrick Battiston
He was very strong and very quick. He had a good shot and was very clever.
Centre-back - Carlos Mozer
A very tall Brazilian who was like a basketball player. He was very good in the air and very technical. For me he was the best central defender I played with in my life.
Centre-back - Maxime Bossis
He could play with both his feet and he could play everywhere. He was always good. I only saw him play one bad game. He was incredible. I played many bad games but he always played to 100 per cent.
Left-back - Manuel Amoros
He was very attacking. He was clever, quick, had a good cross and always wanted to push forward and press high. Now many players do that but in the past not many pressed high.
Defensive midfield - Luis Fernandez
He was very good at getting back the ball.
Right midfield - Alain Giresse
He never lost one ball. He got the ball in different positions and he was small but very technical. He also scored many goals. I played for six years with him at Bordeaux. Off the pitch he never talked, only on the pitch.
Attacking miidfield - Michel Platini
Platini was a genious. He was not a very hard worker but I you had one chance he would score. Sometimes he would score from half chances. He was very clever. In the box he was very quick. He was always moving and never lost the ball. Many players are very nervous when they arrive in the box, but Michel was relaxed. That is the difference between the very good players and the normal players. He was the boss as well on and off the pitch.
Left midfield - Chris Waddle
When he came to Marseilles we were wonder, ‘who is this player?’ He was unbelievable with his dribbling. He was a very good man to have in the side as well. He was the leader of the side and always positive. And he worked hard. At Marseilles we had Eric Cantona as a substitute so you had to work hard if you wanted to play.
Striker - Jean-Pierre Papin
He was a very good score. He was quick and strong. He was always a hard worker and positive. When I played with him he was a little bit... not crazy but young. But after he changed he was a very good man and a hard worker. He was a good example to the young players.
Striker - Dieter Muller
When I arrived at Bordeaux, he was very good in the air and he could control the ball and score goals. He played two good seasons and his last season was not very good because he started to enjoy the good life in Bordeaux – the good wine – but he was a fantastic player.
