Drogba gets letter of the Law

Manchester United legend Denis Law has fired a broadside at Didier Drogba, telling the Chelsea striker to cut out the theatrics if he wants to get the recognition his talent so richly deserves. Speaking ahead of Manchester United’s crucial EPL clash with Chelsea, the 1960s United star urged Drogba to cut out the diving that has seen him labelled a footballing con-man. "Drogba has made a reputation for throwing himself on the floor at the slightest physical contact. But he really doesn’t need to do that because he is such a terrific player," Law is quoted as saying by The Mirror newspaper. "Have you seen the sheer size and strength of the man? He is terrifying. He can rattle even the toughest centre-half. But he’s got to realise that he won’t get the recognition that his talent deserves until he stops the other antics."
