Didier Drogba stopped a civil war in the Ivory Coast. When the country reached the World Cup finals in 2006, Drogba, on behalf of his team-mates addressed cameras to say that they would not be going to the tournament unless there was a ceasefire. 

But did Drogba earn more caps for Ivory Coast than anyone else? That's what we're asking you today. The Top Drog is one of 60 players on the board today.
