Didier Drogba has been voted BBC African Footballer of the Year for 2009.

The forward beat Chelsea team-mate Michael Essien, Samuel Eto'o, Yaya Touré and Tresor Mputu Mabi to the title, which was voted for by fans around the world on the corporation's website.

It has been a year of vintage Drogba, bouncing back from injury to score regularly under Guus Hiddink, netting in the FA Cup Final before shooting the Blues to the top of the Premier League in the latter half of the year.

In addition, the 31-year-old earned qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup with Ivory Coast, as well as raising money for a hospital in his home city of Abidjan with the Didier Drogba Foundation.
