Bolton boss Coyle: Terry, Drogba fantastic for Chelsea, Premiership

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle believes Chelsea's Double push has come thanks to the influence of John Terry and Didier Drogba.

The form of Chelsea centre-back Terry has come under increased scrutiny since he was stripped of the England captaincy following lurid newspaper allegations about his private life, but Coyle has seen nothing which suggests it has affected him.

"Because of the global coverage, people want to analyse any little thing that is thrown up," said the Scot.

"In John Terry's case he is a real leader and a real winner and I think he shows that on the pitch, and that is the way he goes about his business on the pitch.

"I think Drogba is an outstanding world-class player. His footballing ability is second to none.

"People always want to pull him up on his theatrics and dramatics but what I would say is football would be a poorer place without him."
