Arsenal fan so I'm just going to weep quietly in the corner of this thread at all the Drogba memories

Chelsea’s greatest ever player in my opinion. People will say Lampard, but the huge games Drogba won is with his goals out him at number one in my opinion. Favourite Drogba moments?

1. CL final
2. Getting carried off on his last appearance
3. CL Semi final vs Liverpool
4. Comeback victory vs Arsenal in 07/08
5. That amazing goal vs Liverpool
6. Physically destroying William Gallas to score the first goal in the FA Cup semi in 2012, and then scoring again in the final
7. FA Cup final winners vs Man Utd and Portsmouth (beautiful free kick in that game)
8. Header vs Napoli to start the comeback
9. Dominating Arsenal in both league games in 09/10
10. Final day hattrick against Wigan on the day we won the league

and im probably still missing some as well!

My favourite moment is when he'd been abused by Chelsea fans so much that when he scored a miskick he used it to make a point (not sure what) in front of the stand.

A player that loves a final is my favourite kind of player and ive not seen too many big game players on his level

Enjoy this goal against Everton, fittingly a winning goal in that game too

FA Cup final against united was the best. The last minute goal soo epic.

Drogba's celebration after scoring against Wigan in the last game of 2009/2010 season with him taking out the corner flag and symobolising it with a guitar and Malouda symbolising drumsticks.Drogba's goals v Barcelona in 2004-2005 season,Drogba's magnificent goal versus Everton in 2006-2007 season,Drogba showing his passion for Chelsea after Overbo unfairly treating Chelsea in Champions League semifinal v Barcelona in 2008-2009 season,Drogba's performances versus Arsenal and then his contribution in Champions League final v Bayern Munich by scoring the equaliser and then scoring the title clinching penalty.

Traitor! Thought you were one of us!

Nowhere near the talent of a Henry, or even a Van Nistelrooy, but there was no better big-game player than Drogba.

Drogba's goal against Tottenham in FA Cup when Chelsea beat them 4-1 and went on to win FA Cup was also brilliant from Drogba!

Horses for courses a bit as well there. Neither had hold up play/knock downs like him and he wasnt trying to be those sort of strikers

No do you believe me?

What i mean is there probably isnt a better striker from that era we could have had ahead of Lamps

*better suited

I think they still hold the most assists to one another i think of any duo in prem history (or it might be goals and assists combined to each other but i think thats the same stat)

Tone down the United spokesperson role then i might.

Has to be winning the CL final with his 'last' kick as a Chelsea player. Fairytale stuff. As Martin Tyler said at the time: "He may never play for Chelsea again, he'll never be forgotten. He's immortal at this club."

10 goals in 10 finals was it? As an achievement it's right up there with that time he single-handedly ended a civil war in the Ivory Coast...

"It's a f***in disgrace" all day long.

Don't condone the language but never has a player epitomised the emotion of the moment purely from the fans prospective (not the clubs or his own) more than that. That was the moment he truly became one of us and never looked back

Agreed maybe not as talented but as an all round striker better than both. Could do everything, finish from inside and outside a box, head, hold up play to die for and dominate defenses like I had never seen before or again if I'm to be honest. On his day unplayable, but let's also not forget the diving and play acting - he could certainly be frustrating!

He came back for Joses 3rd league win but yeah at the time just magical

Yes Kante I couldn't remember the exact score but I was sure that it was either 4-1 or 5-1 to Chelsea against Spurs under Di Matteo!
