Lee Wing-Sze

Chang Tze-hin, aka Siu Hak,

Occupation: illustrator, comic artist and creative partner of Jam Lamb Hoi-fung. He and Lamb together wrote radio drama hits such as Day and Night, featuring Canto-pop singers Jacky Cheung Hok-yau and Sandy Lam Yik-lin, and Pigeon Garden, set in ancient China.

Siu Hak likes football and today he shares his three favourite footballers with EC Corner.

Zinedine Zidane, French midfielder, 30. He was named the most valuable player in the Champions League last year.

Current career status: playing for Spanish club Real Madrid

'Zidane is an all-round player. His shooting is accurate and his dribbling skill is perfect.

'One of the wonderful things about him is that he sets up a trap and you cannot see it coming. You do not know how he manages to pass the ball from his left foot [to his right], but he does. He does it skilfully.'

Roberto Baggio, Italian striker, 36. Some mainland football Web sites call him 'Robin Hood of the football world'. They say Baggio always helps the poor by 'stealing' scores from the rich football teams.

Current career status: playing for Italian club Brescia

'He is a sportsman of high character. Today, it is very difficult to find a striker as gentle as Baggio. [Marco] van Basten is another example, who has, however, retired. [Michael] Owen and [Dennis] Bergkamp are gentle too. Yet Owen finds it hard to keep up with his performance this season, and Bergkamp is sometimes cunning.'

Marco van Basten, Dutch striker, 38. He personally claimed three European Footballer of the Year awards and has been the FIFA World Player of the Year.

Current status: retired
