12 things which made Didier Drogba an absolute legend for Chelsea

Didier Drogba may have left Chelsea behind but his void is still keenly felt at the club as first AVB then Jose Mourinho have struggled to install a natural successor to the Ivorian. The memories he left for the Stamford Bridge faithful spring to mind all to easily but here are some moments not everyone will have picked up on first time around but let’s not get carried away too much.

1. OK everyone remembers this but just LOOK at his Champions League final goal vs Bayern Munich

2. With one header he made pubs around West London explode

3. He also made Martin Tyler explode

4. He thought it was a disgrace

5. OOOOF

6. He looked awesome on Graham Norton, didn’t give a toss about celebrity and just talked about what he wanted to talk about

7. Stat attack 1

Didier Drogba has scored 13 times in all competitions against Arsenal for Chelsea.

8. He went toe-to-toe with Jens Lehmann in a bloody fight and didn’t back down an inch. Not an INCH!

9. His celebrations were sm-oooth

10. He gained a reputation for play-acting

11. Definitely diving here though

Stat attack 2: Drogba has scored more European goals that any other Chelsea player (34)

12. He took the p**s out of Jose Mourinho2007

2008

My closing argument would be: Didier Drogba
