Didier Drogba EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea legend ‘proud’ after watching Frank Lampard, John Terry and Ashley Cole in Championship play-off final

Didier Drogba has told talkSPORT he was ‘very proud’ to watch a number of his Chelsea team-mates go head-to-head in the Championship play-off final.

There was a prominent Blues theme to this season’s edition of the ‘richest game in football’.

Drogba was at Wembley to watch Aston Villa, where John Terry is assistant manager, take on Derby County, who are managed by Frank Lampard and have Ashley Cole among their playing ranks.

It was Terry who was celebrating on Monday, as Villa ran out 2-1 winners to seal their return to the Premier League.

And Drogba was delighted to see his old friends still competing at the top level.

Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White, the Ivorian star said :“I’m really happy to see my ex-team-mates there; Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, John Terry and a few of the staff, being there and competing to get to the highest level in the league.

“I’m so proud of them, I’m really proud of them.

“It was funny, those two [Lampard and Terry] used to be together all the time and now they are competing against each other!

Chelsea legends and old friends Frank Lampard and John Terry were in opposite dugouts at Wembey on Monday

“It’s good to see that they have managed to go from players to the other challenge of being coaches on the bench.”

Drogba also revealed he has a ticket for the Europa League final and will be cheering on Chelsea against Arsenal in Baku.

“I’m going to be there and I hope they win,” he added.
