Didier Drogba Profile

Very much the Ivorians' talisman, Drogba will be the man they look to for inspiration this summer.

Not only did he score nine goals in the qualifying campaign, the second-highest total in the African section, he is also the Elephants' inspirational captain, genuinely respected by all his team-mates.

He put himself on the road to stardom with French League goals galore for Guingamp and Olympique Marseille. OM tried to hang on to him but a bid of £24 million from Chelsea ended their resistance. An immensely athletic and powerful striker, his technique has often been called into question in the Premiership. In his honour, Ivory Coast fans drink 'a Drogba', a one-litre beer.
