Picking a favourite player ever would be quite tough. A few guys from the period I really loved Juve would be up there. Del Piero, Davids and Deschamps all make me giddy with excitement just thinking about them. Top Aberdeen heroes would be Jess, Glass and Anderson but then there are those I inexplicably loved despite being quite shit or just average like Nigel Pepper, Cato Guntveit and Rachid Belabed. Zola at chelsea is right up there. Shevchenko (erm not for his chelsea time), Pirlo, Raul, Maldini and Batistuta were all big favourites too. But you know what? Even though it's the most obvious and boring choice that a 7 year old would say, Messi just might be my no.1. If the childhood version of me could have created a dream forward it would have been exactly like him. Maybe no.2 behind Nigel Pepper.
