Chelsea star DIDIER DROGBA: Now the war in Ivory Coast is over, I can build my country a £3m hospital

Helping his country ... Didier Drogba is ploughing £3m of his own money into a hospital
DIDIER DROGBA has a drive and determination on the football field that few professional players can match.
But the Chelsea striker has more lofty ambitions than simply trying to win shiny trophies for a club in west London.
This is a man who has taken on the responsibility of rebuilding his entire country.
If Drogba ran to become president of the Ivory Coast, it is thought he would win by a landslide.
But he wouldn't do it, because he believes he can achieve so much more through football.
When Drogba landed with the national squad in the Ivory Coast's largest city Abidjan on Monday after losing the African Cup of Nations final to Zambia on penalties, tens of thousands of people lined the streets.
