Chelsea fans will never forget what Drogba has done for them – and neither will the rest of the Premier League.
In his heyday he terrified defences and gave more than one player a nightmare or two (yes Senderos we mean you) and that goes a long way psychologically.
Teams will still consider Drogba a threat and if anyone worried about his ability or had doubts, three goals in three games puts that to bed.
The fans see him as the man to save them when the chips are down, and given how many times he has done that and probably will do, it is little wonder.
