Better bring your earplugs, Didier... Galatasaray fans revealed as loudest in world as they make bigger racket than jet air plane or The Who!







Didier Drogba can expect a thunderous reception when he makes his home debut for Galatasaray on Wednesday after the Turkish fans were named the loudest in the world.



Drogba, who scored five minutes into his first appearance for the club on Friday, is expected to feature in the Champions League last-16 clash against Schalke.

And the striker can expect the full backing of the home crowd at the Turk Telekon Arena who recorded a sound level of 131 decibels at a recent derby match - louder than standing 50m away from a military jet taking off and louder even than an infamous 1976 gig by rockers The Who which only reached 126 decibels.

Gary Neville once said he’d never played anywhere so noisy as Galatasaray.The former Manchester United and England defender was referring to the club’s old Ali Sami Yen stadium that held 24,000 people, less than half the size of their new home the Turkish giants moved to in 2011.



Anyone who’s made it to a live Galatasaray game is left in no doubt about just how much these people love football. The three biggest clubs, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Beskitas – all based in the capital of Istanbul – boast millions of followers. The noise reverberating around the stadium is electrifying, lifting you on to your toes and making your hair stand on end.



Drogba, you have been warned! Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua are still fighting their battle against the former Chelsea striker's move to Galatasaray and will take it to football's governing body FIFA this week.



The Ivory Coast striker left the club in acrimonious circumstances last month, with Shanghai saying he had breached his contract.

'We now have evidence which we believe will give Shenhua a 99 per cent chance of winning a lawsuit at FIFA,' a lawyer acting for the club told the Sina web portal.

The anonymous source from 'Shenhua's legal team' said papers would be submitted to the sport's governing body on Wednesday.

The report said Shenhua will provide evidence that Drogba breached his contract and that Galatasaray had violated FIFA rules by luring a player away from his current club.

Chinese media previously reported Drogba had asked FIFA to nullify his contract after the club defaulted on payments following a shareholder dispute dating back to September. The striker signed an 18-month, £9million deal with the Istanbul side.



Drogba -- a Champions League winner with Chelsea last season -- had signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Shanghai in June last year on a reported salary of $200,000-a-week.



Drogba's exit from Shanghai followed that of former Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka, who joined Italian giants Juventus on loan. Ford's Fascinating World of Football
