Montreal Impact forward Didier Drogba hasn't made any friends in Ohio as his side prepares to take on the Columbus Crew.

Crew fans weren't quick to forget an incident near the end of the last encounter between these two sides, when Drogba hung onto the leg of Crew goalkeeper Steve Clark. Drogba earned a yellow card for the strange, unnecessary foul, and his team held on, too, for a 2-1 win.

Now hosting the Impact for the second leg of the conference semifinals, Crew fans poked fun at the Ivorian forward, putting up a banner with the words "Drogba Leglock" to commemorate the incident.

It's a cheeky reference to the "Drogba Legend" banner that hung at Stamford Bridge before making its way to Stade Saputo along with the player.
