One of the finest pieces of football writing I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time, about one of the finest footballers I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
A lot of fond memories came flooding back; particularly, *that* Chelsea match. The composure, and mentality, he showed to bounce back from the first leg at the age of 23 is staggering. His resolve and courage, even at a relatively young age, must have been clear for his teammates to see. I remember Carra stating in the build up to that second game that nobody needed to worry about Daniel coming back up against Drogba. How right he was.
