Okocha warns ref to watch Drogba
Bolton midfielder Jay-Jay Okocha has urged referee Phil Dowd to crack down on Didier Drogba when Chelsea visit the Reebok Stadium on Saturday.
The Ivorian has been accused of diving and even briefly admitted to it before later retracting that claim.
Okocha said: "He has been a bit tricky in the games I have watched.
"If something similar happens in the game against us that helps Chelsea, then I will be upset with the referee for not spotting it."
Drogba has been booed by his own fans in recent weeks and has been accused of diving by the likes of West Brom boss Bryan Robson.
Nigerian Okocha added: "Drogba has been criticised quite a bit in the last few weeks and rightly so.
"People just don't want to pay to see players diving around."
