The Story of a Life
Didier Drogba is not only one of the greatest strikers in football history but also a force for peace. At Chelsea FC, he scored the equaliser and the decisive penalty in the 2012 Champions League final. But his most remarkable act came in 2006: a brief ceasefire was declared in Cote d'Ivoire's civil war to watch the national team — and Drogba personally appealed for peace on live television, dropping to his knees to beg the warring factions to lay down their arms. He is a UNDP Goodwill Ambassador and has built hospitals and schools in Cote d'Ivoire.
