The one-time UEFA president, Michel Platini, was a French legend. He has won 72 international caps for the French national team from 1976 to 1987, managing 41 goals in the process.

The record was only surpassed by Thierry Henry who scored his 42nd international goal in October 2007. Platini is also the prize-winner of three consecutive Ballon d'Ors from 1983 to 1985.

Although he had announced his retirement from all football, on 27 November 1988, Platini returned from retirement to represent Kuwait in an international friendly against the Soviet Union owing to Kuwaiti Emir's request.

As a result, he incorporated himself in the list of players who have appeared for more than one country at full international level.
