Also fans young and old tend to like a player who always tries his hardest and leaves nothing on the pitch. Aah, if he had a bit more skill. What could have been. I think he is (or was) a kind of cult hero here. Chanting KALOUUUUUUUUUUU when he comes on, those key goals, that banner Drogba had in Munich all bear the hallmarks of someone who is at least somewhat popular.
