Didier Drogba

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well, that's it. He'll take his place amongst the club's past legends. I very much doubt his success will ever be replicated with the club. Nor will his place in the Chelsea faithfuls' hearts.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Great way to go out. Goodbye.

[BosnianLion 232]

This is just the beginning. Lamps and Terry will be gone soon as well. The changing of the guard.

If the club has the fans interests at heart they should arrange a farewell game for Drogba, similar to they did for Zola, to allow us to say goodbye and give him the send off he deserves.

The proceeds of the match could also go to his charity foundation.

This is the best decision for all parties. The club must look to the future and Drogba could not have a better last kick of the ball in his Chelsea career, nobody ever could. It was meant to be.

Well maybe they shouldn't. It would be truly Romantic if Drogba's actual and absolute last touch of the ball as a Chelsea player literally won us the UCL. I wouldn't mind too much if their wasn't a testimonial simply because he could not have gone out on a higher note than what he has.

Cheers Big man, as a South African I can definitely confirm that the man has a huge following here and has gained a huge amount of fans from South Africa for Chelsea. Always remembered never forgotten.

What a legend he is and he will always be. What an amazing player. What an amazing human being.

I will always love you, Didier! We will always love you!

This is just the beginning. Lamps and Terry will be gone soon as well. The changing of the guard.

Lets hope they go on a great note like this Hero.

There is absolutely no better way to leave the club, what a LEGEND!

Arsenal must be so relieved of hearing about his departure.

Watch this guys. This made me cry....

Thank you Didier, LEGEND forever ! (standing ovation).A sad day for ChelseaFC.

Let's just hope for your sake that Kalou doesn't confirm his exit as well.

I fear for Cap. Kalou leaving at the same time as Drogba could be too much and we would never hear from him again.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Even the greatest stories come to an end. My contract is finished and I am now prepared to leave the Blues. It is with great sadness but also with much gratitude that I announce you my departure from Chelsea.

I played my last game for the club in Munich and I am delighted to have finally been able to lift the Champions League trophy after an incredible final. I am sad, even if it is part of the life of a footballer. We have to accept it. Above all, I will remember all the great seasons I have had here, and all the emotions that will remain forever etched in my memory.

Thanks again to all the fans for their tremendous support. I wish the best success to this club where I may come back in the future, but in a different role.

[Kostas 1,468]

Hope we'll see him working at the highest level of football in the future.

His tears of joy shall forever be my favourite football memory.
