This is one of the deepest single-player listings on the site. Of the 120 matches, 106 are Chelsea shirts and a further eight are Chelsea Centenary shirts from 2005-06. Only five come from elsewhere: three Montreal Impact authentic shirts and two Olympique Marseille. One entry is not a shirt at all but an A3 print. By type the split is 47 home, 41 away, 18 third and 13 player issue.
The squad number dates the shirt immediately. The 2005-06 Centenary shirts carry 15; almost everything after that carries 11. The year spread runs 2003 to 2016, peaking across 2006 to 2010 with 17, 16, 19, 13 and 22 items respectively. That tracks his first Chelsea spell, 226 league appearances from 2004 to 2012, with the 2014-15 return adding 28 more games and the Montreal shirts covering 33 appearances in 2015-16. Drogba joined Chelsea after a single season at Marseille in 2003-04 and 45 games for Guingamp before that.
The 13 player issue entries are mostly 2008-09 and 2010-11 TechFit shirts, made to a tighter first-team cut rather than the retail fit. Condition grades run 4/10 to 10/10 but the median is 6, lower than most pages here, which reflects how heavily these shirts were worn at the time. Prices spread from around £12 for the print to £419 for the scarcest shirts, with a median near £150. The 120 items run across three pages of 42, sorted dearest first, so the A3 print and the lowest-graded shirts are on the last page.
