Soccer-Lampard, Terry turned my career around - Drogba

By Tony Jimenez LONDON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Didier Drogba has paid tribute to the inspirational way Chelsea team mates Frank Lampard and John Terry helped turn his career around after suffering some difficult times in his early days at Stamford Bridge. The powerful Ivorian striker, signed in a big-money deal from Olympique de Marseille 11 years ago, was frequently criticised by reporters for the theatrical way he would go to ground but he said Lampard and Terry made him clean up his act. "I'm very proud because I managed to push things and also that I learned from my mistakes," Drogba told Reuters in an interview, his relationship with the media turning full circle on Sunday night when he was honoured by the Football Writers' Association for his outstanding contribution to the game.
