Episode 6: Didier Drogba - Commitment

With Ademola Lookman plotting a course to the final of the African Cup of Nations where he may (fingers crossed) find himself taking on Ivory Coast, the Ademola Bookmen Podcast bring you our AFCON special. 

Didier Drogba, the greatest Chelsea player of all time according to Chelsea fans. A scorer of great goals - that one against Liverpool in 2006 comes to mind. A scorer of big goals - the first player to score in four FA Cup finals and the man whose penalty won Chelsea their first ever Champions League. And, well, just a scorer of lots of goals - the first African to score 100 Premier League goals and Ivory Coast's all time highest scorer. If he's that good at scoring goals, his book must be brill. 

Published in 2015, Commitment, covers Didier's early childhood in Abidjan and France, his early years playing Ligue 2 in France, before making a name for himself in Marseilles and ultimately at Chelsea where he couldn't stop scoring goals and winning things - leagues, cups, Champions Leagues, all that good stuff. Sadly the book was finished before his stint with the Montreal Impact so we will have to wait for the next book to hear about the Canada years...

In Episode 6, Al and Johnny tussle with the great goalador's book. Tune in to find out if you should be rushing down to the shops to buy your own copy right now.
