Born in 1978, Didier Drogba is an Ivory Coast footballer known for his speed, one-touch passing, and ability to score. Drogba has a long list of achievements to his name including: two African Footballer of the Year awards (2006 and 2009), three Premier League titles, three FA Cup titles, two Carling Cup titles, two Community Shield titles, and a mix of Süper Lig, Champions League, and Turkish Cup wins. When he wasn’t leading his teams to Victory, Drogba was bringing them quite close. He was a finalist in multiple cup matches including African Cup of Nations, UEFA Cup, Carling Cup and Champions League Cup.
Though best known for his time with Chelsea, where he was voted the club’s “greatest player ever,” Drogba is the former captain of the Ivory Coast national team — and is Ivory Coast’s all-time top scorer with 65 goals from 104 appearances.
