Drogba - Appearance on Graham Norton Show

[Upper Library]

Footballers often get a bad press and sometimes this is deserved but I thought Drogba showed real class and humanity talking about his projects etc. back in the Ivory Coast.

Simon Anstell was trying to get some cheap laughs that fell flat and Jessie J came across as being more bothered about plugging her rubbish TV programme.

Made me smile....

Drogba has always done great things away from football,

but is a cheat on the pitch. That cannot be denied.

Fair point - I was unaware of his work away from the football and so was a bit shocked.

Strange how some of the players have dual personalities!


Craig Bellamy is a nightmare for referees, but donate £1.2m to African projects and oversees the work by visiting there.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Great interview.

Have always felt Simon Amstell was talentless, once again he confirmed it.

Quite. And conversely Gary Lineker was a saint on the pitch, but by all accounts a terrible bastard off it.

Exactly, that is so true

 

[backson]

And he stopped a war, he stopped a f***ing war! Not even John Lennon managed that, as hard as he tried

Jessie J is very irritating

infact isn't the whole project his own concept?

Seriously changed my view of him reading about that. He's so lairy on the field though isn't he?

It's good to see this and DD seems a really nice chap. Craig Bellamy is another great example of doing good things with his time and money. Craig Bellamy Foundation

I couldn't stand CB until I read an article on his foundation in Sierra Leone. It's funny how some players have such differing personalities on and off the pitch.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Jessie J is very irritating

Not as irritating as Graham Norton.

 

[vegster]

Surely, there have never been so many people on the same show who go down so readily ?....well apart from Jessie J

 

[Spider]

Nice to see, but Amstell was funny because he realises that, despite its good intentions, stuff like this appearance on Graham Norton is a horrible piece of self-promotion. I don't think he was taking the piss out of the good work Drogba has done!

Also, Jessie J is f***ing annoying a talentless. And Julie Walters is, dare I say it, quite annoying as well!

 

[bravohotelalpha]

If only all footballers used their vast wealth to make a difference.

Drogba = Legend

Absolutely!!!! Just been reading a bit more about him and looking at the Didier drogba foundation website, heart warming to see the difference he has made and is continuing to make

Agree on that

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Whats Lineker done that is so terrible, genuine question as i do not read the red tops or the daily mail

 

[surrey jim]

Jason Roberts was awareded the MBE for his charity work.

Steals crisps from Children and a bit of adultery.

Apparently Graham Norton got inside Drogba last night ( according to the Cup Final commentary )
