Drogba Laces Up

For Drogba, the accolades are piling up. He is the all-time leading scorer for the Ivory Coast. He's scored more goals for London's Blues than any foreign player and ranks 9th all-time for the club which he helped to their first-ever league title in 2006. He is considered one of the best strikers on earth.

At the age of 31, Didier Drogba is already a national hero in the Ivory Coast. And while that is due in part to his being a great footballer, unlike many star athletes, his celebrity has as much to do with his humanitarian work. Drogba stands up not just for big games but important social and political issues in Africa, making him the perfect choice to be the global ambassador for Lace Up Save Lives.
