In my bid to honour African finest player in person of Didie Drogba, l will begin a #7 series post of Didie and l urge you to celebrate him with me as a Chelsea Fc fan, as a sport lover and as an African. My gratitude to @Igze for promoting African content and especially scorum Nigeria, Ghana and Africa.

There is no doubt that Didie Drogba remains one of the finest African footballer that have graced English premier league football. The Ivorian international has won everything in premier league with Chelsea football club. He was a lone striker fans trusted to answer with goal when it is dare needed or at least spore his team mates’ morale to action as have been seen in many occasions. Drogba was a team player as well as can do it on his own from tight angles.

Drogba was a terrorist to defenders. He could bully defender from a tight angle to score his goal using that African built strength and power. His paces was another threat defenders do worry about and when is the box with players like John Terry, Ivanovic, David Luizs etc every corner kick was a goal scoring opportunity. This is evident in his dying minute’s goal against Bayer Munich in 2012 when he scored that equalizing goal that result to penalty shootout and eventually the cup. This week Drogba has retirement from active football and successful playing career to start new life after active football. I bring to you best moments of Drogba in the premier league.

#1 No Chelsea fan will ever forget this Didie Drogba’s goal against Bayer Munich who were cruising to Champions league victory over Chelsea with a lone goal at 88 minutes but Drogba did the magic with a fine header that was electrifying.

#2 Drogba last penalty kick that gave Chelsea its first ever champions league title against Bayern Munich. It was the maddest moment for me as a Chelsea fan that night and remains and experience l will cherish so much.

#3 Didie Drogba will goal down history as Arsenal night during Wengers era as he netted 16 times out 17 matches he played against Arsenal. Even when he came back from MLS, he still scored them. His best moment was his 16 over 16 goals.

#4 Drogba scored the winning goal against Manchester United Alex Ferguson at the bridge in that gave Carlo Ancelotti men a two point lead over Manchester United with five matches to go in April 2010 in a match which saw many blunders from the centre referee.
