Drogba's First Season at Chelsea: The 2004-05 Shirt

In July 2004 Chelsea paid Marseille a club-record £24 million for Didier Drogba, who had just been named Ligue 1 Player of the Year. His first season in London ended with Chelsea's first league title in 50 years.

The 2004-05 season

Chelsea won the Premier League with a record 95 points and 25 clean sheets, added the League Cup and reached the Champions League semi-finals.

Drogba scored 16 goals in 40 games that season: ten in the Premier League, five in the Champions League and one in the League Cup final, an extra-time goal in the 3–2 win over Liverpool at the Millennium Stadium.
