Even though Messi has been receiving an enormous amount of attention lately, Drogba would be my first choice. I admire his drive and resilience, and I like how he helps out in defence. The Ivorian is clearly my first choice; Messi would be a close second and Rooney would be third. I don't profess to know all there is to know about the game and I was an average player at best; but my selection is built solely on the strength of my philosophy on how the game should be played.
