Fair to say, Didier Drogba picked up one of the strangest bookings of the season so far during the last knockings of Montreal Impact’s 2-1 win over Columbus Crew at the weekend.
Having been beaten to the ball by Columbus ‘keeper Steve Clarke, Drogba proceeded to wrap up his opponent and attempt to cinch in a Sharpshooter-style leg lock as famously favoured by Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart…
Camp Drog says….
“Excellence of execution, BIIIIIITTTTTCCHHHHEEESSSSS!”
Of course, Twitter immediately had its fun…
