For me this is my Ranking. 1. George Weah 2. Samuel Eto'o 3. Nwankwo Kanu 4. Didier Drogba 5. Jay Jay Okocha just because he didn't Win any Major Trophy. Then you can fix the Rest where you want to fix them. But for that Top 5, do not Alter them. Then you can

Drogba is just the best.A guy who got his first professional contract after 20 but still achieved all that.Git so much respect from his club the even voted him player of the century over fellow English players.Make Ivory coast a great team,qualified then for their fist ever world cup in 2006.A great inspirational character that even helped stop a civil war.The guy is just such an example and did not have all the advantages a guy like Etoo had to be in a world class academy under 20,have an already great national team but still achieved soo much.I respect you DD11

I would give this list 2.5/5 Cause you excluded Jay-Jay Okocha and Kanu from the initial list and didn't even give them a chance to make it to top 5.
