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

Football-mad ... locals play in Ivory Coast
It will be all hands on deck to complete the job in such a short time but Drogba's influence gets things done.
He said: "I'm blessed — I'm lucky because my voice can be heard a little bit more than other voices.
"I can ring the president if I need something but I prefer not to do that. I prefer to fight and do things by myself.
"It's not written anywhere that I have to do this but I do it because I know that I will never get this feeling in France or England or anywhere.
"It no longer feels like a country that was in a civil war recently but, believe me, if you had been here a few months ago, you would realise.
"The good thing that Abidjan and the Ivory Coast has is that we always try to take the positives from a bad situation — that's our mentality."
