Dave Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Away tickets for Liverpool (a match moved to Monday night by Sky) are £52. Fucking robbing cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Away tickets for Liverpool (a match moved to Monday night by Sky) are £52. 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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you think that Cole isn't held in quite the same regard as other good/great English strikers of the time because of his withdrawn personality, and I think they've got a point there to be honest.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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Aye - he's under rated for sure. Just seen Emile Heskey is comfortably top 20 and has more PL goals than Didier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Really pisses me off how little Cole acknowledges his time with us and what the likes of Keegan and Beardsley did for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I can't believe that Cole only scored one international goal. Even with competition from Shearer, Sheringham, Fowler, Owen etc, he shouldve had more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ridiculous that Cole only has 15 England caps. England's strikeforce in the 90's sure was something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Read in the Keegan book that he called Man Utd to ask about Gillespie and that was when Fergie suggested selling Cole as part of the deal. Big move to go for that like, Keegan's confidence was mad. Guess he also knew he would be backed to sign a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's said in the past that he loved his football up here but didn't feel comfortable with the adulation and was homesick etc. To be fair, he hardly talks about his career full stop.

If you watch that documentary it seemed like it was inevitable and Keegan was simply maximising the amount of money we could get. The 2 had fallen out. Cole said later on that Ferguson was the only manager that understood him, understanding him meaning he was quiet and stroppy but fundamentally wanted to score goals.

No one was as good for him as Beardsley was, Yorke was nothing compared to Pedro. i seem to remember saying that Cole had Beardsley and Cole as the two best players he had alongside him. Linekar has Beardsley as the best player he played alongside as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
