What Didier Drogba did for Chelsea, and indeed on that famous night in Munich four years ago, cannot be understated.

The Ivorian came to the Premier League in 2004 as a relative unknown, but he soon made sure that everyone in England knew of his ability when he scored in just his third game for the club against Crystal Palace.

Drogba went on to score 157 goals in his first stint at Stamford Bridge, and it’s the part he played in that Champions League final back in 2012 which gets him to number one on this list.

A bullet header in the 88th minute forced the game into extra-time and then penalties, in which the Blues forward stepped up to slot home the winning spot-kick to secure one of the club’s greatest ever triumphs.

It was to be his last game for Chelsea before returning for a season in 2014, and he will go down as one of the greatest players to have ever worn the Chelsea blue.

    how can anyone who knows about chelsea agree to that.
    114 goals in the youth team. 132 goals in 169 matches for the first team. 22 in his first season, 37 in his second season, 30 in his third. 43 in his last season.

    his 100th goal at the age 20. yes he did not have the team around him, yes the club needed money and had a huge offer. but still the same jimmy greaves should be top.

    hero then and now.
