Cool Fact #4 – Didier Drogba’s nickname is “Tito”, after the President of Yugoslavia who his mother admired greatly. Despite being born in Abidjan, he spent the majority of his childhood in France, where he first lived with his uncle, and then eventually with his parents.

Unfortunately, ESPN reports that Drogba took off training to see a doctor. We hope he’s fit for the first game against Portugal.
