Umm, how about Drogba and Ronaldo are nobs...
I'd disagree with Ronaldo. My perception of a nob, (in footballing terms), is unproffesional, cocky and fucking arrogant to the point of hatred. Ashley Cole is the first who springs to mind with me, what with his infamous 'I nearly crashed my car when they only offered me £85k per week' gaff. Ronaldo wanted to move to Madridd a year before he got his wish, but instead of tanting and kicking off like Robinho did,
he went on to score 41 goals the season after, and to me that is utterly professional andd quite admirable when you consider the said Robinho's press conference and eventual strike when he didn't get his way. I agree Ronalso maybe cocky, but I think its a different kind of arrogance when you are cocky, almost like to be in the faces of your professional opponents.
