Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has paid tribute to Didier Drogba.

Drogba played his final game for Chelsea yesterday.

"I think he's right up there in terms of Premier League history," Carragher said. "I'd always go with Thierry Henry as the best striker we've seen, but I think he could run him a very close second.

"I played against him more than any other striker. We played against Chelsea up to seven or eight times a season and it got to a stage where I felt like I was playing against one of my team-mates, and I loved the battles against him.

"You'd come from a game sometimes and you may not have put a foot wrong, but he'd still be getting talked about, what a great game he'd had, because he was unplayable."
