Drogba Revealed as Chelsea's Greatest of All Time

[Clevemayer 764]

Whatever I never saw The King of SB sadly play but from the development of the game I don't think that anybody was better then Drogba on this planet between 27 and 31, outstanding and one of the top 3 for sure, but Zola and Lamps are getting the nod over him for me and if anybody says drogs wouldn't be in that top 10 I dont know what to say... do you actually belive what you're saying?

For Me its like:

Zola

Lamps

Drogs

Wise

JFH

Dessaily

Terry

Ash

RDM

Petrescu

probably I've forgotten some of the greats that I've seen but thats it atm for me...

[chelseathebest 150]

It's really hard to pick the greatest of all time, but for me it is Frank.

Btw, Torres 39th? WTF? Who voted for Torres? Torres fangirls really need to grow up.

[Styles 9,790]

Top 10? I read Torres is #39.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm glad Drogba won but Torres being anywhere near it makes it a worthless list.

thats a good list over the last 15 years or so ...you have missed out Cech who in my opinion is the best keeper we have ever had . much better

than the Cat

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Typical new wave plastic generation fans I'm afraid

Zola or possibly Jimmy Floyd should be topping this. Watched Zola train with the ball recently at a Watford game (I got in free through the ES scaffold with some scraps) and he's still got it. Tucked the ball in his tracksuit top at one point, but I missed it, couldn't sleep after that

Stupid comment. During their Chelsea careers neither Zola or Hasselbaink had a real claim of being the best player in the world in their respective positions. Drogba always had a genuine claim of being the best striker on the planet.

[Term-X 7,891]

It's all relative.

[Ollie 4,400]

I don't know the list but i think Lampard should be number 1 although i have no problems with Drogba having that privilege. I do think though, the way ppl go on it's like Chelsea were founded in 2005 and not 1905.

[Kojo 4,676]

How hasn't Wayne Bridge made it up on these lists?

Isn't there a leeds forum?

[Kojo 4,676]

Doesn't tie in with what I was told

Oh yeah!, well i don't take kindly to leeds scum!.

[manpe 10,861]

All those leeds fans coming on here pretending to be Chelsea fans, pathetic... In fact they secretly want to praise Chelsea, because they know who the boss is. A classic case of a bitch brown nosing its pimp.

I couldnt agree more. I think Drogba is an obvious top5 though.

I think in a few years, Drogba might not even be considered top-5. He had two fantastic years at Chelsea and was named Chelsea Player of the Year only once. Some of this is that Roman kept trying to bring in new strikers to displace Drogba so his games went up and down, but in Drogba's 8 years at Chelsea, he had a number of poor seasons. Drogba is undoubtedly a Chelsea legend and one of our greats, but I think his incredible form in the CL last year meant he left on a high that is still influencing people.

Drogba is undoubtedly a Chelsea legend and one of our greats, but I think his incredible form in the CL last year meant he left on a high that is still influencing people.

I think the reason why people rate Drogba so highly is because he won 12 trophies at this club and wasn't just 'part of the team' for those trophy wins he was a leader and one of our main men in every single one of those trophy wins, Drogba has played for this club in a period where we have had so many top class players in the team and throughout his whole time here he has showed that no matter how many top class players we bring in Drogba was always 'the man' the great Peter Osgood didn't have to deal with that did he? or play under the pressures that Drogba had to when competing for every major trophy, and Drogba always produced when it really mattered.

So no people are not voting for him because of what he done in Munich its for what he fought so hard for to achieve at this club, and thats a sign of a great player someone who never had it all his own way, who had his ups and downs but always fought hard and battled to be successful, he carried the team in alot of huge games over the years and came out on top, whether you like it or not Drogba will always be one of the top 5 greatest Chelsea players of all time and its going to take a monumental effort for anyone to move him out of the top 5.

[zolayes 14,489]

btw what number is Cech in the list and Cooke and Nevin and of course Osgood ,,just interested to know as Ive only seen 1st 2nd 4th and 39.

I am assuming Zola is 3rd

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Of course Drogba was going to be voted #1. Think about the audience that voted for it. How many people who were alive to see Osgood play buy the CFC Magazine/would vote by social media? A minority, i'll bet.

TX said it best.

Cech - 6

Cooke - 7

Nevin - 20

Osgood - 5

Zola is 3rd.

[Waterfall 893]

Anyone who thinks Drogba's not a legitimate candidate for this title is either delusional or trying to sound smart by naming every name from the older generations. It's true that recent players tend to get overrated by the fans, but what Drogba and the likes of Lamps and JT have achieved is unmatched by anyone in this club's history - winning multiple league titles, FA Cups and of course the European Cup. Are people trying to suggest that in 20 years Drogba will somehow be forgotten or under-appreciated? Hell, if, God forbid, we never win the Champions League again, he'll become a myth rather than a legend that he is right now. People have not forgotten Bobby Moore and they will never forget Drogba for the same reason - being the symbol of success that's never been had before. Remember, without his heroic performances against Valencia, Napoli, Barca and Bayern, we don't win the CL.

Now I have the greatest respect for Peter Osgood and other Chelsea greats whom I am sure can be considered the greatest Chelsea player of all time, but to laugh off Drogba's credentials and even making sarcastic remarks like "Moscow?" don't sit well with me.

That said, this list is a joke.

[zolayes 14,489]

Cech - 6

Cooke - 7

Nevin - 20

Osgood - 5

Zola is 3rd.

feel a bit better seeing those

[Kieran. 6,317]

Where was JT?
