To be honest i never used to like the man. However, my opinion changed of him when it was well documented just how much he does for various charities.
He may well be a diver on the field of play but when it comes to humanitarian causes he is a TOP bloke.
He'll still be an asset in any football squad but to match his generosity towards others in his totally unselfish manner will be a hard act to follow.  |

Right thing to do! He'd never ever get the oppertunity to leave on a high like he has right now
Great player ... Just a shame about the play acting. Its that reason alone I don't think he'll ever be classed as one of the greatest players unless your an Chelsea fan! |

Ditto - for all the stick footballers get many of them do loads for charity other than the community work they do for the club |

Newcastle fan here , but always thought drogba was sensational,un playable when he's in the mood, even now, yeah he gets slated for diving but most top players do exactly the same, the rewards for winning in football make them cheat,think he gets far too much blame when there's a lot more players out there do exactly the same week in week out,the premiership will miss him |

I'll be sorry to see him go but glad he's not going to another English club. Seems some people don't like him(for which I'm sure he'd find it hard to quantify the fuck he couldn't give) but to Chelsea fans he is and will always be a legend.I grew up thinking we'd never even play in the European Cup,let alone winning the fucking thing
China might be a mistake tho,the owners a nutter and Anelka's reportedly had enough already

I liked the guy tbh, and my respect for him went up when he got so angry with that ref in a CL semi a couple of years ago. The ref was appalling and Drog was right to have a go at him. He stood up for his team and his teammates. |

Just read that he was paid £3million for a Pepsi advert. He spent the whole lot building a hospital in his home town in Ivory Coast. I cannot imagine many rich spoilt sportsmen out there doing the same.
Good luck to him. Some of the £20 million he earns in China will filter to good causes, that can only be a good thing. |

theres quite a few, obviously suarez are the two obvious, cant stand players like that, so much ability yet they feel the need to be far too dramatic. |

Drogba
biggest dickhead in the Premier League closely followed by John Terry
over paid, over rated, fake, unprofessional waste of oxygen
Built up to be gods, legends by the media
one is a racist and the other is such a professional 'role-model' he spends most of the game trying to get his fellow 'professionals' penalised/booked/sent off by diving.
Not a football fan.
Want to see professional, respectful MEN playing sport, watch rugby.
At least they Respect opponents/fellow professionals the Referee and touchline officials!
Rant over! |

you know so little about football yet enough about a man to rubbish him like you just did.
The charity work Drogba does for underpriviledged kids in the Ivory Coast should be commended. He's even taking part in the Olympics torch relay today because of his charity work.
You'll have to go a long way to find a better role model for youngsters in football than Didier Drogba. |

"call me cynical
but just mu opinion
you can tell a lot about a man by the way he conducts himself on the Sports Field
Drogba is a Clown"
you are cynical
how they conduct themselves in 'real life' is a truer indication of the person. step forward Giggs and Carling as prime examples if professional on the field. twunts in real life. |

Saurez obviously would come quite high on any list of unprofessional players. When Robbie Savage was playing for various other teams, a local rag journo once called him an "anti-footballer". He changed his tune when he played as Derby County's captain. He stopped his Bentley & gave 2 fans a lift to Pride Park. He also does quite a lot for charity. |

In football you have the ultimate professionals who rarely even got booked during their entire playing career - Gary Lineker being a perfect example as I believe he only ever got a single yellow card in his whole career. David Beckham is another who is not given to hystrionics when fouled and he just gets up and carries on. Rooney may have his critics but he only got 1 yellow this season for Manchester United and if it hadn't been for that petulant red against Montenegro for England he would have had an almost perfect season.
Then there are the 'serial' cheats in the game who wave imaginary cards at the ref to influence the ref's decision, and that seems to be a foreign import to our game.
Then there are the players who think that winning at all costs is completely acceptable - please welcome Joey Barton, Luis Suarez, Steve McMahon (ex-Liverpool player who thought nothing of using his elbows when the officials weren't looking).
They are ALL part of the game and without their 'colour' football might be fairer, but a lot less interesting. |

Great player. Served his club well. Chelsea legend better after his first year or two when he toned down his strops, brushed the niggles off and played with a smile. Shame to see him leave our game but wish him a happy life wherever he chooses to continue his career. |

yeah,match fixing,spearing,gouging,collapsing scrums,2 England players disciplined for misconduct over a sexual assault charge,biting on fake blood capsules,Harlequins and Bath brawling inside and outside a nightclub where its alleged some of the players were taking drugs. Spotlessly clean is Rugby..Oh I nearly forgot...Will Carling boning Princess Diana. Even JT would be hard pressed to match that. Incidentally,for the record,He's an alleged racist at the moment |

Anyone can pick up a 'ball', punch a few players on your way through and run a few yards to the goaline (which happens to extend from one side of the pitch to the other) and put it on the ground to score a 'try' - there's a laughable word - you don't even have to try. |

Ahh the Rugby v's Football debate always interesting.
For me Drogbas still a dick
And Terry shouldn't be in the England squad. For years he had Carvaleho what's his name. In the defence to pull him out the shit. In the last few seasons others have come and gone. When are people going to realise he is crap? |

drogba may well be in the eyes of some people a dick..... but is he anymore of a dick then lets say for example a danny care, danny cipriani or a gavin henson.... so lets not pretend that football players are bad...and rugby players are all sweetness and light.... |

Don't forget Gareth Bale. Diver of the season.
Tho to be honest for every diving cheat there's a Sergio Aguero. My player of the season. No tantrum,s no bad press, just gets on with it. And what a player! |

Ah at last, someone is "Naming & shaming" on here!
Seriously though, it seems to be more of an everyday occurrence due to the mega bucks young people can accumulate early in their life.
Everyone wants to earn top dollar & retire as soon as they are no longer marketable at their chosen profession.
I hate golf, but having a good walk whilst hitting a ball with a stick seems like a good option to me. |

he may have gone down,quicker than a glasgow hooker,but few strikers can have a better scoring record,in the big matches.
the premiership is the most entertaining league in the world,due to players like drogba.
like him or loath him,most managers,and fans,would be only to happy,to have him on their books. |
