column

After a short while, we have to reminisce the good old days. The times when African legends where still around, playing their best football in front of a crowd of tens of thousands, and millions behind a screen. This week, we focus on Didier Drogba, the Chelsea legend who had an illustrious career in England before moving to China and the MLS to wind down his career. Mostl know about his highs, the times when he was the king of Stamford Bridge and a constant menace in a head to head against Arsenal. But what about the times when his career looked in jeopardy? Here's the other side to Didier Drogba's story.

"Two years later, Didier Drogba returned to the club he had helped win their first and only UEFA Champions League trophy to date.

Although this time as backup to Diego Costa, Drogba's presence was invaluable." - Tinotenda Magiya, FirstTouch Africa
