164 Chelsea goals. 2012 UCL winner. 93rd minute equaliser. Brokered Ivorian civil war ceasefire. Football diplomat.
Didier Drogba scored 164 goals in 381 appearances for Chelsea — including the equaliser in the 93rd minute of the 2012 Champions League Final and the winning penalty in the shootout. He won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, and the Champions League. He was named African Footballer of the Year twice (2006, 2009). Off the pitch, Drogba helped broker a peace deal in the Côte d'Ivoire civil war in 2005, using his national popularity to request a ceasefire — a broadcast plea that is credited by UN officials with contributing to a temporary halt in hostilities.
