'In a safe in a box!": Patrick Vieira admits that he keeps his 1998 World Cup winners' medal locked away at the bank... as the Palace boss claims winning in front of his home fans was 'one of the best moments in my life'

Patrick Vieira revealed that he keeps his World Cup winners' medal locked away in a bank, to avoid losing his prize possession while he is constantly on the move in the world of management.

The Crystal Palace manager was a guest on Sky's Soccer AM, when he admitted that he does not keep his medal on his person.

The rangy defensive midfielder was part of France's World Cup winning side that lifted the famous trophy in 1998, after a Zinedine Zidane inspired side demolished Brazil 3-0.
