Name: Didier Drogba
Nationality: Ivorian
Date of Birth: 11/03/1978
Height: 6' 2" (189cm)
Weight: 14st 5lbs (91.0kg)
Previous
Clubs: Marseille, Guingamp
Position: Striker
During that run he e scored his 100th Chelsea goal on his 225th appearance and scored twice in a 3-0 defeat of Arsenal away. All was going well at the point and the team had a clear lead in the league table but there followed a December downturn in results before Drogba signed off for a month of international duty with a goal at home to Fulham. By now, and like so many previous seasons, back in the middle of a three-man attack, a lacklustre display at Spurs was happily a blip in the season's run-in. Drogba was part of a 7-0 win over Stoke, even if he didn't make the score sheet that day, and a Steven Gerrard assist at Liverpool put Chelsea on the threshold of the league title and Drogba poised to snatch the Golden Boot out of the grasp of Wayne Rooney. An historic 8-0 win and a second-half hat-trick was the way to do it, even if the first 45 minutes did contain a moment of anxiety about his personal tally for our centre-forward.
His winner in the 2010 FA Cup Final meant the season had a pair of Ivorian bookends - a Drogba goal at its start and at its finish. Drogba is one of eight players to have three league titles with Chelsea and also had his third FA Cup winners medal, his second having come at the end the 2008/09 season that even by the standards of his own extraordinary life, has been a rollercoaster ride for Didier.
