Didier Drogba

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Very sad to see him leave. Possibly the best all-round striker the PL has seen in it's short history, and certainly the best that Chelsea have seen. A true legend of the club. Fitting that his last act was to win us the trophy that he, among others, were bought in to win. He was already an iconic figure within the club, but Saturday night confirmed his place among the true greats.

It wouldn't be fitting for a character such as Drogba's to leave on a whimper, he needs to exit in the finest way possible. He's done that.

Thank you for everything Didier.

It was fitting that his farewell was indeed the Champions League. Good luck Didier!

you can't just say good luck to Drogba... he is a Legend, a Chelsea all time Hero, for me no one will ever fill his shoes, he ALWAYS stood up big time... never hold back, always showed his emotions... when he was shouting ovrebrö, when he was slaping vidic, everything showed how mutch he was commited... i whish him all the best in this world.

I stood by him when sheva came, when Torres came when Crespo was there, no matter who no matter where... Drogba was my #1... 100 fuck'n 57 goals, after reading this, it hurts more than I thought... just can't imagine someone else leading this Line despite Drogs...

'I still had in my head what happened in the African Nations Cup when I could have won the game for my team,' he said.

'But at the same time I was confident.

'I was just saying to myself "Today, we don't cry'"

'And at the end, when the boss jumped on me I said it again, "Today, we don't cry".'

now you (hopefully) made us all cry

Legend.

Hes been such a great servant to this club, a true legend who will always be remembered here. Sad to see him go obviously, going to be impossible to come across a player of that mentality again as he was always the one who wanted to take responsibility in the big games. He will always be remember for the great goals he scored and the 9 goals in 9 major finals is a record that will never be broken here at Chelsea. Its the right time for him to go though and I wish him well wherever he may end up, unless its Spurs but I doubt that it will be.
