Didier Drogba was one of the most influential players of the Roman Abramovich era at Chelsea. He joined Chelsea in 2004 from Olympique Marseille and scored 164 goals in 381 games in two stints combined.

The Ivorian first left Chelsea in 2012 after helping them win the UEFA Champions League. He joined Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua before returning to Europe with Galatasaray.

Drogba returned to Chelsea for the second time in 2014-15 as a backup to Diego Costa. After that season, he joined MLS club Montreal Impact and scored 23 goals in 41 games for the club.

After leaving Montreal Impact, Drogba was without a club for nearly four months before joining United Soccer League club Phoenix Rising. He also became an owner of the club and thus became the first ever player-owner in football history.

The 40-year-old still plays for Phoenix Rising and has so far scored 11 goals in 16 games for the club.
