From Tito to Drogba! Didier Drogba joins Samuel Eto, Frank Lampard, Theo Walcott in comic book world

Galatasaray striker, Didier Drogba’s fans will now have the opportunity to read everything they want to know about their hero. Just like the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Frank Lampard and Theo Walcott, the Ivorian is warming up to launch his comic book. Titled ‘From Tito to Drogba’ (Tito being his childhood nickname), the cartoon series will chronicle the former Chelsea star’s childhood days and his successful football career in Ivory Coast and England.

“It is a fun way to learn lots of things about me and to show young people that, if they do what I did, they can achieve their objectives. The most important thing is to show you can exceed your dreams. For me, football has become my job, my way of making a living, and that in turn has allowed me to meet many famous people, to be a UNICEF ambassador”. The 35 year-old told sports reporters.

Gabin Bao, the 36 year-old Ivorian behind the project said Drogba was open to the idea of the book.
“I met him several times after we did the deal and he really liked the idea of sending a message to young Africans. Some people say I’ve made him too perfect. But he is like that. He is very careful about his image because he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.”
The book will be released in Turkey, where his current club is located; Brazil, ahead of the World Cup and in Britain where he is most revered especially among Chelsea fans.
