Chelsea players give Didier Drogba amazing honour as he departs his final game

Drogba is lifted off the pitch

Didier Drogba was given the ultimate honour in his final Chelsea game.
The striker confirmed prior to the match that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, although he will not retire quite yet.

And after being given a shock start at Stamford Bridge, he was substituted after 27 minutes.

Not because he was injured. Oh no. Because Chelsea had planned it all along.

When Jose Mourinho hooked him off, Chelsea’s players lifted Drogba into the air and carried him off as a mark of honour.
We can't remember that ever happening in a football match before.
