Drogba Statue Outside the Bridge

[Kieran. 6,317]

I think JT has a shot of getting a statue, but that's it.

Osgood Zola Di Matteo Wise Lampard Terry Drogba

Terry will never get a statue because he is too controversial but I think Lampard will definately get one. Well deserved, probably our greatest player ever.

I know it's early days, but given that Thierry Henry was given a statue outside the Emirates, do you think the would ever consider giving Drogs a statue? I mean, he has achieved more for our club then Henry did for Arsenal. Thoughts?

Lampard did more for the Club, 10 years on someone else will do more for the club, and so on. You cant keep having statues for all. Arsenal is a stupid club to follow.

Drogba, Lampard and Terry celebrating statue would be legendary !

The problem is, as pointed out by Strike, when you start with players like Drogba you have to ask "what about..". Arsenal have had Henry and co because no-one's really come close to their stature (mind the pun) recently.

But we have so many legends to be thankful too that a limit has to be set. Osgood, Harris & Bonetti for now though, that would be a good start (with the latter two).

Drogba should get one at some point. Does Osgood need a statue? He's already got his ashes buried underneath the penalty spot, and we could give him the ultimate honour by naming our new stadium (if we build one) or a stand after him.

I think in terms of achievements, Drogba is up there with the best of all time.

If he did this 30 years ago, I have no doubt there would already be one..

This is exactly it. It's difficult to go and give statues to every individual player, but a statue of some of the Chelsea greats celebrating or just grouped together, I can see. Drogba is a Chelsea legend, but Lampard, Terry, and Cech, and even Cole are all part of this golden generation of players.

[Ramzi 233]

Someone on this forum suggested this before, a statue on four sides of the stadium:

The "Spine" of our club

The Brain - Petr Cech

The heart- John Terry

The control- Frank Lampard

The power- Didier Drogba

if we ever get a new ground! hopefully we'll have legends stand! with t osgood drogba etc on the wall...

[Term-X 7,891]

Ridiculous..

This is just like the argument for retiring jersey numbers all over again, we will have a few dozen 'Drogba calibre' players in the next 100 years, who will contribute just as much. If we erected statues this easily, the outside of stamford bridge would start to look like an art exhibit.
