Andy Cole

Watching the interview with him on ITV 4, what a player. Absolute legend and one of my favourite if not favourite player of all time. Wish we had him in our team now, our strikers should watch videos of him to see how a quality striker plays.

He doesnt get the recognition he deserves and that's sad because he was one of the best strikers the premier league has ever seen.

Cole was the real deal when he came for united. He was top drawer at the Bracodes.

Had terrible injuries at United and Fergie didnt help by openly using him as bait to bring Shearer to OT. Also he had genuine competition for his place with the likes of Hughsie, Ole, Yorkie, Teddy etc which made them all sharper players.
You cant compare todays players at United to these lot. Different league they were.

Also he had an idiot as an England manager who talked bul5hit about Cole about him needing 6 chances to score. Cole was lethal and his record speaks for itself. 2nd most prolific goal scorer in PL history i think) Hoddle was and probably still is a nutcase with some very strange ideas about life.

One of the most overrated players of the Prem. Some talent, yes, but limited intelligence. Hoddle was spot on with his assessment.

Andy Cole? Limited intelligence? Are you for real?

Limited intelligence in a footballing sense, yes.

Always offside on the far side from the ball.

Never learnt the offside rule.

Over half his shots straight at the keeper, not around the keeper into the net.

Never thought "Hey, when I aim for the bit of net around the keeper I score sometimes, when it bounces off the keeper I never do" even once. Hence Hoddle was spot on.

RB&W, I was 46 last week, but thanks for the "lad" comment in what was an awesome and well thought out reply

How old are you?

Andy Cole always offside

Having quick strikers forever being caught offside is definitely one of my biggest bugbears. Anelka would forever be caught offside for us when he still had the pace to waltz straight past the defender in a fair race.

Wayne if you are going to call Cole thick and overrated, or that Hoddle was in anyway right you deserve it.

Are you aware of how many goals Cole scored?

Never learnt the off side rule

Ain't Hoddle the coach that left David Batty to take pen in world cup 98 and knock England out against Argentinaa resulting instead in a Beckham backlash.,

If you are going to call me lad, you should say how old you are?

Andy Cole scored 68 goals in 85 games for Newcastle...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hadn't scored for something like 9 games before he went to Man United though.

Wayne, now i know the sort of person you are.
To make a follow-up comment like that. You 'll scrap the barrel to pick fault in somebody. How many games has Rooney gone without scoring? does that stop him from being a Man Utd legend?
