From Al-Jazeera, it documents Drogba's role in brokering a ceasefire and the respect in which he is held in the Côte d'Ivoire.

i'd never seen the actual clip before of him leading the national to plead on their knees for peace on national tv. Absolute legend.

Whatever about how good a footballer he was he is twice the man what other footballer made anything near this meaningful a contribution to his roots.I have friends who go on about how much he was getting paid at shanghai but he uses that money for charity rather than his own luxuries.To be honest if I had made  it that big I couldn't truthfully say i would use the money as well as he did 

More than a man. True Hero. Didier Drogba take a bow son.

A man first, footballer second.

Nice!!

Was be even paid? I was under the impression he wasn't and is why he was allowed to leave.
