WE CAN BE TOP DROGS

- BY NEIL McLEMAN

LEWIS DUNK knows a Drog is not just for Christmas – his pup Didier has always been named after the Chelsea legend.

The Brighton defender, 26, comes from a Blues-supporting family and grew up idolising John Terry. But the Dunks will be supporting Chris Hughton’s side at Stamford Bridge today, as the Seagulls seek a first win over Chelsea since 1933.

“I am a boyhood Chelsea fan,” he said. “I grew up watching John Terry, and my family dog, Didier, is named after Drogba. He’s a cocker-spaniel cross poodle so it doesn’t really suit Drogba!

“This game is one I’m looking forward to, but I want to win. It doesn’t matter if I’m a Chelsea fan or not.”
