A world away from freezing England, Tottenham Hotspur's Emmanuel Adebayor tries to settle a score with ex-Chelsea stricker Didier Drogba when Togo Battle Ivory Coast at the sweltering African Nations Cup on Tuesday.
.
Two of Africa's most successful players have been rivals for years and Adebayor is hoping his Togo team will put Drogba's Ivory Coast to the sword in their opening Group D match and go some way to making him feel better about last season.
.
First Chelsea crushed Spurs 5-1 in an FA Cup semifinal at Wembley, subsequently going on to win the final against Liverpool as Drogba became the first man to score in four FA Cup finals.
.
Drogba is now back in his national team's jersey trying to seal an elusive Nations Cup title after twice finishing as runner-up for the 1992 winners.
.
Adebayor, for one, will not be unhappy to see him miss again.
