Gianfranco Zola

He may stand only 5 foot 5 inches high, but in terms of integrity, skill and impact on the Premiership, Gianfranco Zola is a modern-day giant. His footballing genius has rightly earned him hero status at Chelsea, where in 2003 he was voted the best ever player by fans, but his down-to-earth, even shy, personality means he is fondly regarded beyond Stamford Bridge.
