Angry Drogba to shun future player awards after Africa snub

DIDIER DROGBA says he does not wish to be considered for future African player of the year awards after Frederic Kanoute won the 2007 title.

The Ivory Coast striker is playing at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana and claims he was told he had won but had to travel to Togo to accept the prize.

“I was told if I didn’t appear, the rules would change and the prize would go to the runner-up,” he said.
