Superb!

And our approach play looked crisper, faster and more purposeful than it does these days.

Didier Drogba. The name itself sends shivers down the spines of opposing fans. An absolute beast of a striker, Drogba was a Chelsea icon during his two spells at the club. 

Goals Galore!

Drogba is Chelsea's fourth all-time top scorer with a whopping 164 goals across all competitions in his 381 appearances. That's a goal every 2.3 games! In the Premier League, he found the net 104 times in 254 matches.

More Than Just Goals

Drogba wasn't a one-dimensional finisher. He chipped in with 88 assists throughout his Chelsea career, showcasing his ability to create for teammates as well.

Clutch Performer

Drogba's record in cup finals is nothing short of legendary. He scored an incredible nine goals in nine finals, including the all-important equalizer and winning penalty in the 2012 Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

A True Chelsea Great

The numbers speak for themselves. Drogba wasn't just a scorer, he was a leader, a big-game player, and someone who inspired his teammates. His trophy haul with Chelsea is impressive: 4 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, and the Champions League.

Preaching to the choir there!

The King... Childhood hero. Always knew a goal would be coming when he was on the ball.

Never seen one man completely terrorize a peak United side. Mugging off both Vidic and Rio in their prime.

Real eye opener on what we used to have vs what we currently have.

In a nutshell!

You watch that and remember how blessed we were to watch that team compared to the current one.

From current squad Palmer would get a game. Caciedo and James maybe on the bench. Nobody else would be near that starting line up.

On the flip side even the weakest players in that winning team would either feature in the starting 11 now or at least be on the bench and get regular game time.
