Over the last decade or so Chelsea fans have experienced a level of success unseen previously in the club’s history. Since 2004/05 they’ve won four league titles, four FA Cups, three league cups, one UEFA Europa League and of course the big one, a UEFA Champions League trophy.

Central to much of that success was Didier Drogba, an iconic goalscoring hero whose impact on the club will likely be remembered for decades to come.

In two spells at the club he made an incredible 381 appearances, scoring 164 goals and generally providing the combative physical presence in the final third that the Blues needed for success.

Of the thirteen major honours listed above won by Chelsea, Drogba was involved in a massive twelve of them, underlining just how important he was to the team in his time at Stamford Bridge.

Now Chelsea fans have voted overwhelming to name him as their greatest ever striker, with 88% of respondents to our poll agreeing he should be considered the best.

It also just so happens to be his birthday today, so this is our present from us to him, Happy 39th Birthday Didier!
