ITV4 10pm - Andy Cole - Sports Life Stories!

 

No doubt it'll all be about his time at Man Utd!

 

Was interesting when his wife was saying their time up in Newcastle was a nightmare.  Could see what she was getting at but unfortunately it was probably edited so that no positives were put across.  Can imagine it must have been difficult for them leaving the house like, everyone was mad about him.

Away tickets for Liverpool (a match moved to Monday night by Sky) are £52. :lol:

 

f***ing robbing c***s.

 

Noticed those prices today as I was buying a ticket for a friend for Everton away for £20! Unreal the difference :lol:

Yeah mate, plus Newcastle wasn't anywhere near as multi-cultural as it is now so he would have really stood out! I enjoyed it - his record is for some reason very under-rated! 68 in 84 for us alone - unreal!

She said that they'd go to the supermarket for groceries and get out 2 hours later with no groceries, having just signed autographs the whole time.

 

The documentary itself is really worth a watch, it makes you think that Cole isn't held in quite the same regard as other good/great English strikers of the time because of his withdrawn personality, and I think they've got a point there to be honest.  The guy was a superb goalscorer, second probably only to Shearer in the Premier League in terms of English strikers, but he rarely gets a mention these days.  Some of his link-up play with Yorke on the documentary was a joy to watch.

Enjoyed that, and Cole was actually very underrated as a player. He wasn't just a finisher or a fox in the box, he was a very good all-rounder. He was electric for us, absolutely unstoppable and unplayable. A machine. He was my first football hero and when we sold him I was gutted.
