George Groves picks his #One2Eleven for Fantasy Football Club

Super middleweight boxer George Groves is a life-long Chelsea fan and here he picks his best-ever XI.

STRIKER - Gianfranco Zola: He is my favourite Chelsea player. My first experience was watching the FA Cup against Middlesbrough way back at my Nan's house on TV and seeing Zola and the guys play. My Granddad was telling me how great Zola was and I didn't understand the stuff he was saying. Only now do look back and see what a truly talented player he was. . STRIKER - Didier Drogba: Twenty-four million they signed him for and he came in and had a couple of quiet seasons, and we wondered when is this guy going to perform? But boy did he perform by the end. I remember we would go through season after season not getting a result against Arsenal until that one game when Drogba just ruined their back four and ended up scoring two goals. Since then the table has certainly turned in Chelsea's favour. Obviously we won the Champions League and he was a major part of that night, for that reason alone he would be in my XI.
