Didier Drogba is still kicking. The Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend is currently with the USL's Phoenix Rising, where he will play striker until it's time for him to move into the front office. Drogba's Phoenix Rising debut came on June 10 against Whitecaps FC 2, and, guess what, Drogba scored.

He also assisted former Chelsea teammate Shaun Wright-Phillips. Phoenix Rising won the match 2-0.

Drogba is probably the best and most famous player to ever play in the USL, so we will be monitoring his adventures in Phoenix very carefully. He's doing pretty good so far.
