Drogba's 2009/10 highlights

The man could do it all and his ability from dead-ball situations is still seriously underrated.

What made Drogba's efforts in 2009/10 even more remarkable was the fact that he delivered against Chelsea's direct rivals.

The Ivorian scored Premier League goals away at Arsenal (x2), Manchester United and Liverpool, three of the toughest places to visit in English football.

Drogba also netted the Blues' only goal in their 1-0 FA Cup final win against Portsmouth, further highlighting that he was the ultimate big-game player.

The man is a bonafide Chelsea legend, a player the streets will never forget and also one that the west London club have never properly replaced.
