Didier Drogba

Drogba: "9 goals in 9 finals, it just happend"

Wise words from a wise man. Chelsea legend.

Will never be a player like him again! EVER

Does life imitate television or does television imitate life?

Answer: Television imitates life, we've witnessed it.

Legend is such an overused word these days, it slowly starts losing its true meaning. To make Didier stand out in the sea of this overused term, he should be called a super-legend or something.

This man can do whatever he likes to me.... WHAT A FUCKING LEGEND!! If this is his last game in a Chelsea shirt then he has truly signed off in style.

[captainjt26 106]

What a legend he is , we need to sign him onto a 2 year extension so he can retire a blue . He has been a big part of our history in recent years and there is no way to honour the man than by allowing him to retire a blue . What a header though for the equaliser and the penalty to win it ...you couldnt of written it better.

What a legend. What a big player, you just can't describe this man with words, it's impossible. We should retire number 11 when he leaves.

True legend, need we say more?

[The Big Drog 1,110]

My pick for MOTM is Didier Drogba. Rather ineffective for the best part of 88 minutes, had a few nice touches but generally looked isolated up top as Tymoshuck was given the freedom to challenge in front of him, safe in the knowledge that Boateng was behind him and no Chelsea player was close enough to run in behind if Drogba did win the flick on. Despite the rather subdued 88 minutes, this is the man for the big occasion, this is the best lone striker of his generation, this is the greatest player in the history of Chelsea FC and this might well have been his Chelsea swansong and it only takes one moment. A charge to the front post to get on the end of a well delivered Mata corner, a thumping header past Neuer before he barely has a chance to react, it was the moment Drogba has been waiting his entire career for, a moment that brought tears to his (and my) eyes. Almost turned villain when he gave away the penalty but there was no stopping this fairytale. With memories of Moscow visible in every single Chelsea fans minds, the great man stepped up and took the important penalty kick and dispatched it to win us our first every Champions League. It would have been a travesty had the big Ivorian's career ended without a Champions League winners medal and with this being, possibly, his final chance at glory, Didier made it a personal crusade to deliver the big prize. Remember Valencia at Stamford Bridge? A stirring Drogba performance, single handedly powered us on to beat the Spanish side. Remember Napoli at Stamford Bridge? Dead and buried but Drogba didn;t think so, inspirational performance, rolling back the years to drive us on to beat Napoli. Remember Barcelona at Stamford Bridge and the Camp Nou? Supreme, powerhouse performance at Stamford Bridge as he bullied the Barcelona back four and scored a vital goal and then put in an incredible shift in which he seemed to play in almost every position at one point or another. And now, remember Munich, against the might and history of Bayern Munich, Didier Drogba has fired Chelsea into Europe's elite bracket, a performance that will surely cement his place as Chelsea's greatest ever.

(Just wanted to get this in the Drogba thread)

His right boot should be preserved in the club's museum.

Drogba > Bergkamp, Henry, Nistelrooy

DDA you are forever a legend in Chelsea history. Your name will be chanted for decades to come! love you x

[Henrique 9,133]

It was clear he would score in this final, and that he was going to be the character of the match. Legend.

Scratch my previous post regarding his contract extension...whatever decision the big man makes, I'll be happy with it.

I think now is the time for him to leave. Leave in the best way possible on a massive high. I'll be sad to see him go but the timing is right. 9 goals in 9 finals is an unbelievable record. Chelsea legend forever.

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm so happy he's left on a high i really am, if he left last season, he would never of been remembered like this, not one bit like this. He has done the magnificent, no one has one a trophy for there club like that, no one!.

[kwylino 329]

[RollingPapers 194]

I never seen such a clutch player in my life. Drogba IS the definition of clutch.
