#2 Didier Drogba
A beast on the football field, the Ivorian was a nightmare for the defenders during his stint at Chelsea from 2004-12, and once again in 2014-15. His physical presence gave him an edge over his opponents, as he went about decimating sides with his tremendous shooting power and astute finishing abilities.
The fourth highest goal scorer for the club, Drogba scored more goals than any other foreigner, becoming the first African player in 2012 to complete a century of Premier League goals.
Helped along by his Nike Mercurial Vapour boots, Drogba’s contributions became a highlight of many memorable Chelsea wins, most notably the late equaliser and the penalty shootout in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final.
