Chelsea captain John Terry paid tribute to the departing Didier Drogba as his team won their fourth Premier League trophy.
The Ivorian had announced he would be leaving Stamford Bridge prior to the game, citing a lack of playing time as the reason behind his exit.
Drogba, who was ceremoniously carried off the pitch on his Chelsea team-mates' shoulders, has had a fantastic two spells at Stamford Bridge, winning four Premier League titles and most notably scoring the winning penalty in the Champions League final back in 2012.
On his team-mate's departure, Terry said: “It’s an emotional day. It’s an unbelievably proud day for all of us but at the same time it’s a sad day because one of the biggest legends this club has ever seen is leaving.
“He’ll be back for sure in some capacity but he’s an unbelievable example, a great man and what he has done alongside Lamps [Frank Lampard], is win competitions and we are talking the very best.
“Staying at the top level for as long as they did is phenomenal, so a special thanks as I have played with both of them and good luck to them.”
