I don't think their is a thread for this so if their is then i apologise. I thought it would be good to see who is everyones favourate past and present player from the club they support and give reasons why.
CHELSEA:
Past: Gianfranco Zola, without dout in the top 5 of foreign players to grace the premierleague. I actually started supporting Chelsea in the summer 1996 the year he joined so i luckly got to see his whole Chelsea carrear. The man was just sensational 80 goals for the club and numourous assists, sensational technique and a killer free-kick. The game i remember Zola for most was the European Cup Winners Cup Final against Stuttgart in 1998, the game was 0-0 and Zola started on the bench because he wasen't 100% fit. Vialli knew something had to be done so he let Zola loose but didn't know it would only take 10seconds for Zola to run onto a Wise through ball to smash it into the roof of the net.
Present: Michael Essien, this was tough to decide because i could have picked either Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cech but for me i love watching the Bison play. I believe when not injured Essien is in the top 5 Centre midfielders in the game today, his strengh and stamina is frightning. I have always said and still believe Chelsea play better football and are more consistant when Essien is in the side. The game i remember Essien for most was the 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the bridge 1-0 down not long left and our amazing home record was being threatened i dare say anymore just watch i think one of the best goals scored in Premiership history.

I will add i just love Andy'd Grays reaction to the goal
), now steve davis is my favourite rangers player, his passing is great. I remember sitting in the Broomloan just in line with the left goalpost last season, we were against aberdeen, he struck the ball and everyone thought it had missed but it curled straight in the top corner, outstanding.
