Guest firetotheworks Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Watching the Entertainers video the other day, I really did take it for granted when I was a kid like. It was just like 'ah yeah, Peter Beardsley' just totally spoilt by those two. They were absolutely lethal, the best partnership I've probably seen for us. I thought Bergkamp and Henry were better and I had them as my perfect duo, but I'm not sure they better link up play like. Those two were like one person.

George Bailey Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cunt. Forgot very, very easily and very, very quickly who had a major part to play in his development and career path/structure. Hurt like hell seeing him fawning, singing and prancing with the prawn sandwich brigade at that despicable corporate whore of a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching that magic happen and appreciating how different it was from the norm, man. Thinking "OMG This has to get rammed in the long term memory because it won't last".

Dokko Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 My fav Andy Cole moment was when he and his bum buddy was sold because a 45 year old Sheringham kept showing him up on the pitch. Teddy took out two players even as a granddad. Cole wasn't special just a Stan Collymore without the mental breakdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy took out two players even as a granddad. Cole wasn't special just a Stan Collymore without the mental breakdown. Cole was exceptional man, easily one of the best strikers to have graced the top-flight in the past 20 years or so. For us he was a goal machine, but could also play. The fact he was part of not 1 but 3 very good partnerships suggests he had a lot to his own game. He made perfect runs, was good with either foot and boy could he climb. He was also very quick footed and had bags of pace. Collymore? He was a talented striker, but ultimately he belongs in the same bracket as Martins, Cisse etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Cole was pure unadulterated joy. God knows what it was like for all the old gadgies watching him and that era, because for me as a kid it was fucking sensational. The abiding memory of Cole's time here is of him and Clarkie celebrating, smiling, laughing, chasing each other and just living the fucking dream as young kids with the fans on the stands cheering wildly while KK and Terry Mac fist pumped the air and hugged each other. Every fucking week man! It was Mardi Gras at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Scored all those goals for us and I don't think any of them were penalties. I vaguely remember him missing one once though. It's completely unthinkable that a striker would score 41 goals in 1 season for us again, never mind having another 20+ just behind him. We only scored 48 in total last year Oh, Kevin. Save us.

Every f***ing week man! It was Mardi Gras at SJP. 21 years old, first season in the top flight for player and team, rookie manager. In many ways it was the perfect season, the best I've certainly seen from us. Teams feared us and Cole. It has to be said though, that KK team created upto 10 chances per game at times and it was often relentless. Cole had Beardsley, Lee, Sellars and Clark among others working chances for him. Mind, he was lethal in the box, just a sniff and it was a goal. He was a 1 in 2 chance type striker for us, at Man Utd a 1 in 5. I think that's because Man Utd played a totally different style to us as did Cole for them. Halcyon days man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm with HTT, Cole is my absolute favourite and he was incredible for us. I went to a talk with Steve 'Blackie' Black last year who told a few stories about Cole. To cut a long story short he was the type that would rather score and lose 2-1 than win 3-0 but not score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I wish I had access to football during Keegan's entire reign as manager for Newcastle. I loved seeing the Big Hits DVD and he scored what looked like the easiest damn hat trick versus Liverpool at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Remember speaking to a Manyoo "supporter" not so long ago, eulogising about Andy Cole. I got "He never played for Newcastle, did he?" Who do you think made him you prick?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
