He ranks as one of the deadliest EPL strikers in history with over 300 goals in his whole professional career. He won two African Player of the Year awards and on a club level, Drogba won one UEFA Champions League title, four EPL titles, three English League cups, and two Community Shields.

He played for various clubs in his home country and France. Roger won two African Player of the Year awards, two AFCON titles for his country, and made it into the World Cup all-star tea in 1990.
