Drogba

The Ivorian may have not been as prolific as other players on this list but if you ask defenders which player they most feared coming up against, it was the Chelsea legend.

Drogba’s physicality, strength and speed, as well as his undoubted finishing ability, made him a nightmare for any defence. In his prime, he was very hard to stop.
