Chelsea and Arsenal have had some intense rivalries
during the past decade, with the two London clubs at their peaks a
little over ten years ago.
Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea vs. Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal… it was
an intense affair that produced some ugly ties, but also some brilliant
fixtures.
Despite all this, Blues legend Didier Drogba once again
showed his class by honouring Arsenal icon Thierry Henry as his football
idol while he was growing up.
The statement may rile Chelsea fans, but it was all about respect which makes Drogba look even classier than he already is.
The Ivory Coast international won the 2015 Football
Writers’ Association Tribute award over the weekend, and promptly
afterwards pointed to Henry as the man that inspired his career.
Both being a striker by trade, the now retired Henry scored
an incredible 228 goals during his time with Arsenal, while Drogba has
163 goals for Chelsea.
