Jose Anigo: Didier Drogba & Mido fought on the plan

Drogba and Mido spent a solitary season with Marseille for the 2003/04 campaign, and it was during that campaign when, despite having a good relationship, they got into a heated exchange on the flight home from a UEFA Cup quarter-final win over Inter Milan.

"There was an altercation between Drogba and Mido on board a plane," ex-club manager Anigo revealed to RMC Sport.

"We were coming back from a European tie. Mido used to play some bizarre jokes. He played one on the stewardess, and Didier didn't appreciate it.

"He [Didier] remonstrated with Mido, and things became very heated between the two of them. We were up in the air, and I can tell you the plane shook! They caused turbulence.

"They were a couple of heavyweights. Normally they were friends, but at that point, tempers flared between them."

The pair ultimately scored 41 goals between them for the campaign before going their separate ways, with Drogba moving to England to join Chelsea and Mido signing for Serie A outfit AS Roma.
