ROME: After the French hit song, the jokes, videos games and advertisements, there is now a new face to the most infamous headbutt of all time.

Italian defender Marco Materazzi will publish a book containing 249 phrases he might have said to France captain Zinedine Zidane to invoke the now-retired midfielder's wrath.

The book is titled What I really said to Zidane, and Materazzi has wrote about it in a column on the Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport's website.

"As you will see, dear reader, I found it funny to explore the absurdity of the whole affair," said Materazzi.

The book is 100 pages long and contains 249 phrases, mostly ridiculous, among which his actual retort to Zidane is included.

Zidane disgraced himself in his final match before retirement by reacting to a Materazzi taunt by thudding his forehead into the big Italian defender's chest, minutes before the end of the World Cup final, which Italy went on to win on penalties.

Zidane was red-carded for his actions and a song written in homage to the headbutt the day after the final shot straight to the top of the French charts.

Some "witty" ones contained in the book:

Hey! Where exactly is the sternum?
Zinedine, what are you up to? You haven't lost yet... and you've already shaved your head!

According to Gazzetta, Materazzi will donate proceeds from the book to children's charity Unicef.

It is due to go on sale for around $12.60 in the coming days and features a picture of the headbutt on its cover.
