Ronaldo for me. Had the Barcelona kit with his name on as a kid and was obsessed with him. Used to try and mimic his stepovers on the playground. There's never been a more complete striker in the game for me than Ronaldo 96-98. He was brilliant from 02-05 too for Real Madrid but had had to adapt his game a bit more to compensate for the massive knee injuries.
Part of the mystique around these players then was not seeing them all the time too. You might catch the odd Barcelona/Inter game on telly but it wasn't every week and there was obviously no youtube highlights then.
Then he also has the Hollywood-style redemption story at the World Cup.
