Ivory Coast's midfield warrior and Tottenham's combative holding midfielder — a key figure in the remarkable generation of Ivorian players in the 2000s.
Didier Zokora was one of the most combative and effective defensive midfielders of his generation. At Tottenham he was a key figure in Martin Jol's successful sides, before moving to Sevilla and then Turkish football. He won 123 Ivory Coast caps — a national record — and was part of the talented generation that included Drogba, Eto'o, Touré and Kalou.
His 123 caps for Ivory Coast is the most by any player from the country.
