How the Didier Drogba quiz is checked
Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.
All 22 Didier Drogba questions were checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Didier Drogba quiz
Didier Drogba is the Ivorian centre-forward who turned power, presence and an unshakeable sense of the big occasion into one of the finest striking careers of his generation. He came late and worked upward — Le Mans and Guingamp in the French lower reaches, a breakout season at Marseille, then the 2004 move to Chelsea that made his name — before later chapters at Shanghai Shenhua, Galatasaray, a title-winning return to Chelsea, Montreal Impact and Phoenix Rising, where he hung up his boots in 2018. If you can still picture him bullying centre-backs at Stamford Bridge and dragging the Ivory Coast to their first World Cups, this quiz is built for you.
His defining night came in Munich in May 2012. With Chelsea a goal down and minutes from defeat in the Champions League final, Drogba rose to head an 88th-minute equaliser against Bayern, then buried the winning penalty in the shootout to deliver the club's first European Cup. It fit a career-long pattern: a knack for scoring when the stakes were highest earned him the reputation as the ultimate big-game player. He finished as Chelsea's all-time leading foreign scorer with 164 goals in 381 appearances, won four Premier League titles, and was twice named African Footballer of the Year.
Expect the full spread. The quiz moves through his transfers and fees, his two Premier League Golden Boots, his knack for scoring in finals, and his standing as Ivory Coast's all-time top scorer with 65 goals in 105 caps — including the appeal for peace that helped pause a civil war back home. Questions scale from gentle openers any Chelsea fan will nod at to deep cuts that reward people who followed every step from Le Mans to Munich and beyond.
Every answer comes with an explanation, so you finish knowing more than you started — and it's completely free in your browser with no sign-up.
