And Nigeria are pretty much the biggest nation in Africa, in a sporting sense as well as population. That might have a bit to do with it.
That said, who else would you have? African football's gone back a bit in the last 15 years.
1) Drogba,
2) Eboue,
3) Mikel
4) Essien
5) Gervinho
6) Kalou
7) Adebayor
8) Pienaar
9) Yaya Toure
10) Kolo Toure
11) Eto'o
12) Song
I can only think of 12.
13) Roger Milla

Djourou has been voted best defender in the Bundesliga for the first half of this season.
