Didier Drogba has received an honorary degree in the Ivory Coast for his contribution to football in his home country as well as helping restore stability in the West African nation.
The former Chelsea star has been credited with helping bring peace to the Ivory Coast. Drogba famously helped enact a ceasefire in 2005 after securing qualification for the World Cup.
The 43-year-old made a desperate plea to the combatants involved in the ugly civil war in the West African nation, inviting cameras into the Elephants' dressing room after their crucial win over Sudan to make a passionate speech, leading to a ceasefire after five years of war.
