Euro 2016: 9 things you probably didn't know about the history of the tournament

#3 Michel Platini prevails

Platini netted 9 goals in the 1984 Euros

France won the first UEFA Euro in 1984 in front of their home crowd, and the legend in picture above was instrumental in it. Platini came into the tournament after a red-hot run of form for Juventus. He scored in all five of the matches that France played en route to the title, which included two hattricks.

His tally of 9 goals by a player in a single finals tournament remains unbeaten till date. Reckon we have a contender to beat this?
