Posted July 2, 201212 yr Hi all, I'm planning to make a 'Thank You' card for Didier Drogba from The Shed End like the 'Get Well Soon' one to Bobby; if anyone remembers it was basically a hand-made A4 card in which I printed out & pasted everyone's messages in. So... I want your messages!! We'll have a bit more time this time round as it was quite rushed last time for obvious reasons. I'd appreciate it if messages could be limited to a couple of sentences, just so everyone's messages can fit in and Didier doesn't have to read them through a a magnifying glass. Any regulars you know who may not see this then please pass it on. Can we just use this topic for actual messages and the other one 'Something for Didier' for general discussion/questions. Many thanks.
July 2, 201212 yr Didier, you gave me the greatest night in my 17 years as a football fan and I will never forget it. Thank you for all the joy you gave all of us in your time at the Bridge. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I wish you success and happiness, for your family and your foundation! Thank you!
July 2, 201212 yr Good luck at your new club! I'm happy that I was able to see you play from the first to the last game for Chelsea. I hope I can comfort my 3year old son,you are his biggest star !! You are legend! Kevin from Belgium. Edited July 2, 201212 yr by Belgian_SW6_Lover
July 2, 201212 yr Didier, You gave us fans the most memorable ending, to a a wonderful era, in Munich.. I was there at the front when you came up with the trophy letting us touch some of that history. Just shows how much of a legend you are and how much the fans mean to you, and I must say that feeling was most definitely mutual. Good luck in China an I, along with every other Chelsea fan, can't wait for when you get a fitting farewell. Chelsea Legend always Jay
July 2, 201212 yr Author Can I just say again guys these will be placed in a card so can the messages just be limited to a couple of sentences? Otherwise I'll have to edit them down or something. Thanks :) (yes I've just broken my 'message posts only' rule).
July 2, 201212 yr We will never forget what you did for this club. Don't be a stranger around the Bridge!
July 2, 201212 yr Didier, What you've done for us Chelsea fans and this club has been amazing! Thanks for everything good sir and best wishes! Arq
July 2, 201212 yr Didier, You are a great player, but an even bigger man. Thank you for everything and enjoy life in Shanghai.
July 2, 201212 yr Cher Didier, Ca fait huit ans que tu nous fais rever. Depuis 2004, j'ai voulu aller a Stamford Bridge et te voir en action. N'habitant pas a Londres, c' etait tres difficile. Mon voeux s'est finalement realise cette saison, et te voir en action a Stamford Bridge contre Valence m'a donne les larmes aux yeux, tout comme la finale a Munich. Je n'ai jamais vu tellement d'hommes pleurer en meme temps, mais ca, je dirais, c'est L'EFFET DIDIER. Merci pour tout les moments magnifiques, ta loyaute au club, et ton attitude de champion. On ne t'oubliera jamais, et j'espere qu'on te reverra a Chelsea bientot. p.s. Ils ne t'oublierons jamais a Arsenal aussi ou tu as fais des ravages !! Mourad Awad i know its french but i preferred writing to him in that language. thanks
July 2, 201212 yr Thanks for all the trophies and great memories Didier. You always made me feel proud to be a Chelsea fan when I saw you on the pitch.
July 2, 201212 yr Didier - You leave us after 8 unforgettable years of phenomenal service, with the greatest parting gift to the club and fans that any player could have dreamt of. Your legendary status is assured. All the best in Shanghai! See you back at the Bridge!
July 2, 201212 yr Didier, Through it all you were yourself, the good and the bad. Over these 8 years many have had their say about you; but in the end you are the one that finishes with the last word. The greatest center forward in Chelsea Football Club history, a player and man we will never forget. Thank you.
July 2, 201212 yr Didier Drogba la la la la la Didier Drogba laaa la la la la la Your name will be sung at the Bridge till the end of time. Chelsea legend for life- thank you for everything.
July 3, 201212 yr Never one to shy away from the limelight, you bowed out with the biggest of all victories. When we needed you most, you stepped up. Thank you for all of the memories over the years, you will go down as one of the greatest players our club has ever seen. Thanks Didier. Edited July 3, 201212 yr by Brayerz

Mourad Awad Hi, cheers for that - any chance you can edit it down by a few lines? I don't want to take anything out incase it doesn't then make sense, I need to fit all messages in so ideally only wanting a sentence or 2 at most. I know it's hard as we all love the man but it will save me doing it later and possible taking out what you think is the key part of your message.
July 3, 201212 yr Thank you for everything, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Love you. Edited July 3, 201212 yr by DannyD
July 3, 201212 yr Didier, Good luck in China, you may be far away, but will always remain close to our hearts. Thanks for everything. 2211 Edited July 3, 201212 yr by 2211
July 3, 201212 yr Cheers Didier, you were a fantastic spearhead for this club, striking fear into defences! Your records in cup finals will probably never be beaten at this club! Its been a roller coaster (of mostly highs) with you here and you'll never be forgotten! We are all so happy that you guys finally landed the big cup for yourselves, as you all clearly deserved it.
July 3, 201212 yr Our best striker ever to wear the blue jersey. Hopefully you will end up as a Chelsea-manager. Get in you beast!
July 3, 201212 yr Thank you for so many amazing memories, keep up the good work with the foundation, and I look forward to seeing you terrorise the Chinese league like you've terrorised Arsenal over the past 8 years :)
