It's Never Too Late

03 June 2010

Most players don't have the opportunity to go for academy trials; some don't have the benefit of playing for a team from an early age.

But it didn't stop Didier Drogba aspiring to greatness.

From the make-shift car park pitches of his hometown, Abidjan, to the Parisian streets, football was a daily ritual for Didier.

Eventually, at 15, he got the chance to take his love for the game to the next level.

The intensity of training at his local youth team demanded he stepped up; he responded with two prolific seasons and the scouts soon came knocking.

Injury threatened to stall his late-blossoming career but Didier's professionalism, desire and determination saw him overcome.

At 19, an age where most players are trying to make their first team mark, Didier signed his first apprenticeship.

Two years later, he went pro.

This summer, he takes on the world.

Didier's chance didn't come early. Yours arrives on June 10.
