Didier Drogba who is 36 has enjoyed a successful
playing career, both as a national team player and a club professional. From his
days at Le Mans, to Olympic Marseille, Drogba has done spectacularly well, much
to the pleasure and dismay of many
When he left Chelsea, after the 2012 Champions League triumph,
many including some very football fanatics believed he would return to the
Stamford Bridge club; nevertheless, wherever Jose Mourinho went, there he would
be
Indeed it became reality when the Ivorian veteran was recalled
to the Blues, us as Mourinho took charge at the helms
Drogba may not have won many titles, especially as a national
player for the Elephants of Cote D’ Ivoire, only nearing an AFCON triumph in
Egypt 2006 before losing to the host
As at September 2014, Drogba has scored 239 goals in 525
appearances so far, for both club and country in a professional career
which began in 1997
Compared to Samuel Eto’o who is 3 years
younger, with a professional appearance record of 461 and 234 goals for
clubs and 204 apps, 57 goals for country, in a career that kicked
off professionally in 1997, who is the real African goal king?
Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard thinks Drogba is
The 23 year-old Belgium international posted a photo of him and
Drogba ‘goal king’
'It is true that he is no longer young but that's
how we young players learn - by meeting people like him.’’ Hazard
concludes with a photo of them on Instagram
Well, they are both retired from the national team, with only a
few years left for them to remain active as professional players.
