Didier Yves Drogba Tébily, born on March 11, 1978, is still one of the most impressive football strikers and also the best African player of the 21st century without any doubt. The Ivorian legend went from being a late bloomer in the French lower leagues to the top scorer and then a football icon, the foreign player in Chelsea of all time.
Drogba’s career was like that of a king and a god of sports combined. He started at 21 in Ligue 2, where he got noticed by Guingamp and Marseille, who later sold him to Chelsea in 2004, where he elevated the striker to a new level in the Premier League. He was known for his jumping ability, shooting power, and great game performances. So, the world of football had one more legend in its case. In addition to that, he not only stopped by in the role of a football player, but also continued his charity work and helped communicate the message of peace in the Ivory Coast, thus becoming a global icon.
