A host of Chelsea legends have been involved in charity football matches in the last few days, and Didier Drogba gave Blues fans a nice throwback with one moment.
Stamford Bridge hosted a collection of former players from both Chelsea and Liverpool over the weekend, with supporters getting the chance to watch the likes of Eden Hazard, John Terry and Gary Cahill in action again.
There was an incident where Diego Costa and Martin Skrtel clashed in a throwback to what had happened when the two met 10 years earlier.
Over in France, Drogba was featuring for a Le Mans side which also featured former Arsenal attacker Gervinho.

Didier Drogba recreates iconic celebration in charity match
The Ivory Coast star started his professional career at the French side back in 1998, before moving on to Guingamp and Marseille ahead of the successful stint at Chelsea.
Drogba sprinted past the opposition’s defence and beat the goalkeeper to the through ball, leaving himself an open goal to tap into to put his side 2-1 up.
The Blues hero celebrated in a style many supporters will be familiar with, wheeling away to the corner flag and recreating his iconic knee slide and whipping his arm across his body.

The striker found the net 164 times in all competitions as a Chelsea player, and is certainly the measuring stick when it comes to any goalscorers signed by the club.
Chelsea striker already compared to Didier Drogba
Chelsea addressed their goalscoring problems over the summer with the signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, however the latter has been absent for a number of weeks due to injury.
The Englishman had made a good start for his new club, finding the net during the Club World Cup campaign.
Gary Lineker predicted Delap would be the first excellent striker since Drogba, which feels an unfair statement when taking into account the impact Costa had on the Blues.
It will be very difficult for anyone to make a real impact close to what Drogba did for Chelsea, with his career reaching its pinnacle with his winning penalty in the 2012 Champions League final.
