Chelsea striker Dogba nominates Liverpool legend as toughest opponent

Chelsea icon Didier Drogba has nominated his toughest opponents.

Drogba has come up against a number of powerful defenders during his time on the pitch, usually getting the upper-hand as he built his reputation as one of the world's deadliest strikers.

He said: [The best I've played against?] It's difficult but I would say Jamie Carragher (Liverpool) was the most difficult one in terms of aggression, but he was always fair.

"Then there was Carles Puyol (Barcelona), he was a strong defender, tough, but always respectful, and a gentleman really."
