Chelsea have triumphed in several cup finals at Wembley over the past two decades and Didier Drogba has often been the architect of those memorable victories.
The Ivorian netted the extra-time winner in the 1-0 victory over Man United in the 2006-07 FA Cup final in what was the first domestic cup final to be staged at the venue since its reopening in 2007.
That was just the beginning of an amazing streak which culminated in the talismanic marksman bagging as many as eight goals at the home of English football over the course of his illustrious trophy-laden spell at Chelsea.
Just to remind our users, only Harry Kane (22), Heung-min Son (14) and Dele Alli (11) have scored more goals than Drogba at Wembley, which isn't a surprise given that Tottenham used the national stadium in England as their home venue between 2017 and 2019 following the demolition of White Hart Lane.
Now, it's hard to pick the best of the lot if you are a Chelsea fan, considering the fact that Drogba's big-game record is truly sensational, but the Ivorian has, in fact, identified his best goal at Wembley in a blue shirt.
Well, if your memory needs some jogging, that thunderous strike came on this very day, April 15, 2007, in the 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham in the semi-final of the 2011-12 FA Cup.
Drogba blasted the ball into the roof of Carlo Cudicini's net, scoring his seventh career goal at Wembley as Chelsea booked their seats in the final against Liverpool.
The Ivorian once again rose to the occasion against the Scousers to bag his eight and final goal at the home of English football, as Roberto Di Matteo's side beat the Reds 2-1 to claim their FA Cup 7th title.
Chelsea, of course, would then go on to create history later on in that season, beating Bayern Munich on penalties in the Champions League final to become the first London club to lift the Holy Grail of European football.
Drogba finished his Chelsea career with an incredible record of scoring 10 goals in 10 finals and was rightly referred to as the 'ultimate big-game player'.
Of course, not all of those goals came at Wembley but he will always be remembered fondly by the Blues faithful for lighting up the home of English football.
