Drogba highlighted Henry's impressive abilities, saying, "Scoring goals, winning games on his own and for his team. I mean, we’re talking about Thierry Henry - I don’t know if there’s anything more to say."

Henry's illustrious career saw him score a record-breaking 228 goals for Arsenal, as well as finding the back of the net 49 times for Barcelona and 52 times for New York Red Bulls.

He also scored 51 goals for France in 123 appearances.

However, Drogba was recognised for his incredible contributions to Chelsea and the Premier League Football.

The African legend was voted the club's greatest-ever player by over 20,000 fans in a Chelsea Magazine poll.

Additionally, he was included in Chelsea's team of the decade for 2010-2020, further cementing his status as a Chelsea legend.
