Didier Drogba is why I have been a Chelsea fan for 15 years now.
I was 6 years old and at that point I didn’t really have a favorite team as I was still new to football. I was playing PES 2006 and I was picking random teams to play with so my older brother eventually got tired of that and gave me 7 teams and that I should fully support 2 out of those 7 teams so my own brother picked Real Madrid for me to support and then I picked Chelsea cause Chelsea sounded nice.
I found myself sending Drogba to Madrid and playing him over Van Nistelrooy and Raul. Why? Probably cause he was African and looked like a beast (made it easier when he ended up being a beast in real life too). I didn’t have a memory card for PS2 so I literally had to send Drogba to Real Madrid every time I turned the game on so I got tired of it and decided to play Chelsea full time with me dropping Real Madrid for good (I was gonna drop them anyways I never support clubs like Madrid or Barca) and now here we are….
Drogba really was responsible for so many Africans becoming Chelsea fans. Chelsea had some strong characters and leaders too which made them easier to support 🔥🔥. Wanted to share this story on his birthday.
