Andy Cole..Underrated legend. Without him and Dwight Yorke, Man. Utd. would not have been as succesful as they were in the 90's.
So a team without their 2 best strikers wouldn't be the same? Well done on that observation.
@@liamjohnson7887 youre welcome
@@liamjohnson7887 What I actually meant was that no other 2 strikers would have had the same effect. gafl
Your right they wouldve got some one else.
@@juanmanu9652 We dont that. There was other strikers wouldve done more only they didnt want to come to man utd. . Alan Shearer Was better than Cole or yorke. Shearer quoted Fowler as the most natural at least better than Yorke and what he lacked for quickness he made up in skill. Fowler in 1995 wouldve scored them chances against Westham. Iron Side played by Raymond Burr couldve scored at least 1 of them. So be real no conceited to think only for them only. Nah
I'd forgotten he played for Man City
A.James Reilly
Congratulations on winning the checkatrade trophy btw!
🏆
I did and I’m a city fan 😬
@@supersergio7617 You can be forgiven. You only started supporting them after the money came in😂
Super Sergio plastic
@@supersergio7617 cant blame you, you recently discovered man city LOL
I loved Andy Cole when he played for us. Always worked hard, always a good attitude.
Shame his son doesn’t have the same attitude, his son devante is a good player with potential, but his ‘my dad is Andy Cole so I’m better than everyone else’ attitude has stopped him
@@lewiswadsworth1829 That's sad to hear. You right though if you have a bad attitude in life, in whatever you do, then it just won't work. I always Thought Andy Cole always gave his best.
Andy Cole is well known to have played for Man Utd! I even forgot he played for Man city
@bobby dukes mug
D Stuart they’re were no city fans in cole’s era
Yeah I remember when he played for City he was Qaulity for us for a short spell then he got injured just for the ignoramus comments I've supported City since 1984 36 years MCFC
I associate him more with Newcastle than Man U
Its Andrew !
The Premier Leagues 3rd highest goal scorer of all time. Yet only played 15 times for England! SHOCKING ! We forget about the CRAP Managers England have had over the years.
Back then he had competition of Shearer, Sheringham, Fowler, Ian Wright and Les Ferdinand all trying to be England first choice. Shearer and Sheringham were always Venebles and Hoddles favourites.
He existed in the same era as Shearer, Wright, Ferdinand, Collymore, Sheringham, Fowler & Owen. Managers were spoilt for choice
Oreginal It was shocking he was playing for the best club in England at the time, also doing it on the champions league stage. It was a crime how he was overlooked.
The narrative was that he needed 5 chances to score a goal, this was contrary to statistical evidence. England managers picked largely on popularity.
You forgot Matt Le Tissier. There was so much talent upfront for England managers to choose from.
England did have a group of good strikers, but it still doesn’t explain how Cole was good enough for the legendary Sir Alex, but not for England? Doesn’t make sense. As for the likes of Le Tissier you could make the argument that he needed to prove himself at a higher level.
Great player Andy Cole. Had all the class and quality but without the attitude and drama of modern players. Putting professionalism and family above other things. True hero
He did do a rap song though
@@dondamon4669 yeah that's best forgotten haha
One of England most underrated players always scored every type of goal even without Yorke. He was brilliant
He got way too much criticism in his time. His record speaks for itself
@Bobby Dukes Glenn Hoddle also believes that disabled people are repenting for sins in a former life 😂😉 enough said about that god bothering fuckwit.
@@andrewharmon9720 Every time Cole played against teams managed by Hoddle, he always seemed to score.
Agree I never understood the criticism. He was a prolific goalscorer that's the only stat that matters.
I couldn't give a damn that Cole, Schmeichel, Hughes, Law or whoever played for the Berties. They gave everything for the United shirt and performed to world class levels, and therefore are genuine legends.
Denis (the king,HaHa) twice actually and that exquisite back heel in the famous blue shirt hammering another nail in the coffin to send the rags down, his finest moment ever.
Berties.. quite ironic lol.
@@Mancunianblue ..famous blue shirt🤣🤣🤣..no one had even heard of you till tea towel head took over..you'll never ever be as big as united!!🤨👹
I remember him at Bristol City, and he was awesome then. What a player and what a career. City legend
Ronaldo... Played for Barcelona & Real Madrid... And played for Inter & AC Milan
In Italy everybody plays for everyone. Zlatan played for Milan, Inter and Juve. Pirlo played for Milan, Inter and Juve. Bonucci just took a break from Juve to play a season in Milan. Not quite sure what is going on in Italy to be honest.
Ronaldo is also a cultural Icon in football and beloved by most every fan for his talent. Plus, R9 was at Barcelona when Bobby Robson was the manager there. Barcelona's board was shambolic in the mid to late '90s after the Cryuff debacle. They hired Bobby Robson who won a treble I believe and brought in the likes of R9 and still got pushed upstairs to the boardroom, effectively firing him and hiring LvG. That same boardroom would sell Figo, their captain, to Real Madrid. Plus R9 would go to Madrid in between his stops in Milan and when he was at AC, he was out of shape and largely ineffective.
@@atb89 inter didn't want pirlo anymore
@@atb89 vieira and davids played for all three big clubs. Seedorf, cannavaro all moved between the big clubs. 😂 I just love that
Andy Cole knew he had done everything he could to prove how good he was and he didn't need affirmation by any manager of England, as he said that would just be a bonus.
He existed in the same era as Shearer, Wright, Ferdinand, Collymore, Sheringham, Fowler & Owen. Managers were spoilt for choice
@@mediacenterman8583 you made this comment before.
were these strikers scoring more than Cole was? I'll answer for you, NO! Shearer, but he was only playing PL football as well..we're talking about a player that played against the best defenders in the world. When the question was asked, "who's the best defender you played against?" He named 2, one from Spain the other for Italy.
And you lot still wondered why England haven't done well in tournaments. There's your answer, biased and favoritism.
@@Lifewithgoldbridge121 the 2 he named were really good choices though. We sometimes forget certain centrehalves that are maybe not so imposing physically, 6 feet 2 and look like they had a go at professional rugby before settling for football but for intelligent strikers, they are a nightmare.
@@finding_aether reason I pointed out that particular sentence, because those strikers @mediacenter man mentioned only played against PL defenders, and even if they played CL football (every now and then), usually dropped out at the group stage and really haven't been tested.
@@Lifewithgoldbridge121 Those players didn't score more goals than Andy, but I've always got the sense that he was maybe not chosen for England cause of his extraordinary partnership with Dwight Yorke and that maybe there was an underlying thought of him not being able to perform at the same levels without Yorke. He was never really given a chance to prove them otherwise with only 15 caps, but he also only scored one goal in those 15 caps which I think might have confirmed those fears for some.
Get Viera ,Keane ,Henry and Cantona on the same show.
You know that's what the fans want....
Why?......loser
They want a brawl?
Actually tbf I would pay to watch that
The reason Cole scored so many goals for Newcastle was obviously because he was a top striker but also Peter Beardsley, what a baller
I remembered he had a dry spell in 1995-1996 if i remembered correctly, he missed sitters and kids kept calling striker that misses open goal : "andy cole". Surely Andy has the personality and mental strength to turn this around. Something the current manchester united players lacked. Cole is always a legend for the club
Haha, I remember that. An old 90s memory. And I thought Andy Cole was at his best as a Newcastle player.
Love how Andy said Yes without blinking, when asked whether 98/99 team would beat this current City side.
That's your treble team right?
@@MT-pz7no yes
The only year we had Peter schmeichel and jaap Stam at the back 😁
They wouldn't though
@@patricklawson9756 they would tho
He did great at Blackburn too.
Such a humble dude. You'd have a hard time not liking him whoever he played for.
As a Newcastle fan Andy Cole was my idol when he played for us in his prime and I was gutted when he left but no hard feelings he is a premier league legend
I’m a Newcastle fan and I think more of asprilla than Cole.. I was gutted when we let Sir Les leave. Shearer and Ferdinand are the greatest pair we have ever had
Cole didn't even want to leave Newcastle, but Keegan wanted rid of him, especially as the offer came from United.
King Cole! One of my favourite strikers growing up trying to emulate his goals, just oozes class. Top player and highly underrated.
This man will always be my all time favourite players and Newcastle player along with Gazza. I was devastated when Andy Cole was sold to Man United. My first game was watching him. One my idols
I’m a Newcastle fan and I think more of asprilla than I do cole. And as for Gazza, John Barnes did more in a Newcastle shirt
Good to see him, struggling with health issues last I heard. Looking better here. Best of luck Andy.
Total respect for Andy Cole. He was magnificent in the red shirt and left the club having given his all. There isn't the same hatred between United and Citeh as there is for example with those Scouse tramps up the East Lancs road. Schmeichel also played for Citeh but we still love him!!!
@Wilfred "I Tapped Dat Ass" Kensington You're right about how Law/Kidd are viewed however Law relegating United is just an urban myth. Even if United had won that game 10-0 they were still getting relegated due to results elsewhere. it was just that Law didn't know that at the time.
Why is Cole not doing more punditry on Sky? He speaks so much better than most on TV and has the experience to back up his comments...
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
Three years on, might be wrong, I think he's a family first and foremost these days, and he's battled kidney failure, needed a transplant to survive so he's probably just taking it easy.
United legend. 187 goals and 73 assists.
73 assist is insane
Everyone that played with Roy during Man Utd’s glory days names him as the best and most important or one of and some people still give him stick! If he was English they would of built statues.
US MANCHESTER UNITED FANS WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU COLEY. LEGEND.
I didn’t even know he played for City, just googled it. He scored 9 goals for them. 😂
He played his best football at City
@@22conmanz22 hol up
wait a minute
you must be joking
Cole never had an issue with utd fans because he played at his peak of his career with utd. He won them a champions league after so many years and was part of the treble season, so I think every utd player in that period will be remembered fondly irrespective of where they went after.
Furthermore regarding Man city, Cole left for City at the end of his career well past his peak so there was no animosity from utd due to that first reason. Secondly it wasn't like Cole was leaving for City who were competing with utd for top place in the EPL, which would have changed the outlook, and thirdly he never went directly to city from utd. So there are many reasons.
Same with Schmeichel, but alot of united fans haven't forgiven him for that.
It's said that his kid's were doing their GCSE's. And Stockport turned him down. So he chose the next nearest club to his kid's school, Man City.
Slikz Certi more than likely
@Tom B what?
@Tom B wut ?🤨
@Tom B are you a FC Bury fan to say this ?
@Tom B oh so i suppose old Trafford is in Yorkshire is it? 😂😂
Andy Cole confirmed me as a United fan. 5 goals in the game v lpswich
He did so much for United I actually forgive for playing for City.
1. Andrew Cole never got a fair shake with the national team. But there was Shearer, Ferdinand, Wright, Fowler, Sheringham., then Owen showed up
2. ManCity was not a title threat when he joined, and Cole was not at his peak.
and he played for Burnley, too! Saw a hat trick at QPR on a tuesday night after a long drive to London, always remember that night. Cole was a goal machine!
Andy was and still is my hero
i think he wanted to really take in the outstanding atmosphere and the history of such a historic club such as manchester city
Aaron Siva Of course, all those historic games in the second division
You lot are taking the piss. 😂😂😂😂
😉
Lmaooo
Lol😂😂
Love Andy Cole 2nd best striker in premier League ever, 2nd highest scoring STILL
What an unbelievable striker frightening at Newcastle
I love Andy Cole so much..
ANDY COLE ABSOLUTE LEGEND. LOVE YA MATE.
I'm a Liverpool fan...But cole was so underrated..He defo was a thorn in our side for us whether he played for Newcastle or Man Utd....Souness needs shooting for selling Beardsley... I wonder what was his most important goal he scored for united in 1998/99...The goal against juve in Turin that took man utd to the UCL final...Or?...the goal against spurs that won utd the premiership title at old Trafford on the final day of the season?
What a striker he was
He was naughty - Andrew Cole, 2019.
The best English striker in history.
Money, final payday at the end of his career. Cole is always a United legend.
What money did city have in 2005?
@@deldia enough to pay andy coles wages. Its just a job mate.
@@deldia Man United didn't let his contract run out, he asked Fergie to leave because he wanted first team football. At the time we had just brought Van Nistelrooy and Cole spent a lot of time on the bench. Fergie wanted him to stay but he wanted to leave as I stated above, so he was sold to Blackburn Rovers for £6m. After Blackburn Rovers he played for Fulham and Man City before retiring after playing for Sunderland I think. Don't quote me interms of the order of those clubs he played for after leaving Blackburn Rovers.
@@deldia his kid's were doing their GCSE'S. Stockport turned him down. So be sadly had to settle for his 3rd choice, City.
;-)
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now the irony is all the city fans are from stepping hill in Stockport. Literally 90% of em 🤣
ultimately he was underrated
Coley was class
Andy cole Class act
Coz we were rubbish at the time and no threat to United, plus he was at the back end of his career. Not really rocket science is it?
Why so defensive? it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask a Man Utd great why he joined Man City or if he felt it was a risk.
Thats not what he said though. Come on, Man City was a great club. They are annoying now. But they were great.
@@finding_aether trust even I’m a pre takeover fan and I’m pissed off by the club culture these days, it’s not what I originally signed up for
He was right about Montero. Montero was one of the best of that era.
Criminally underrated. All that aside enjoyed listening to him seems a intresting bloke.
Great insight and discussion!
Cole the goal! End of. BRILLIANT!
legend
Andy cole premier league legend
We forgive you mate ❤️ GGMU
Legend player, not respected enough
LEGEND.
I like Andy Cole very much, cool guy, smart... Was unlucky that England at the time had so many good strikers
Oh Yeah SO MANY great strikers! They opted for bloody Emile Huskey at that time! Hardly a "great striker"!
Cole should have walked into the England squad!
How united could do with him these days. Lukaku couldn't lace his boots
@Ajmal Ali what ??? Your saying lukaku is up there with Cole ? You are deluded
@Ajmal Ali have you watched lukaku play last 2-3 games ? Big chances missed , that's the difference with him and Cole. Cole would have put them chances away in his sleep no matter what club he played with . Also Cole was unplayable at Newcastle. Look up his stats there.
Who saved Utd from PSG?
Don't be so hard on Lukaku he's a great player, sure Andy Cole is a absolute legend, but Lukaku is a apart of the greatest international team his own country has ever seen and he is making strides every season at United so someday I could honestly see him up there next to Cole.
@Ajmal Ali You sir are a grade A clown he was also a goal machine at Newcastle and to say the donkey (lukaku) is as good or better than Cole is Absolutely Ridiculous
Lukaku doesnt come close to Cole i dont hate lukaku btw i just think he is bang average and shouldnt be our 1st choice striker his touch is awful for a P.L footballer my 7 year old Grandaughter has a better touch,going by your comment you have not seen Cole very much if thats your view
GGMU 😈
3rd all time highest Premier league goalscorer, doesn't get mentioned enough in my opinion. Andy Cole was a fantastic player, did all his talking on the pitch and is one of my favourite Utd players of all time. Thanks Andy
if you win a tournament with England that is the greatest achievement for any footballer ever. as long as I dreamed of being a footballer, lifting something for country and getting that adoration from your home country must feel fantastic, to be celebrated as a nation even just for a moment.
Cole played for Newcastle and Sunderland, Man United and Man City, Blackburn and Burnley. All derbys that hate each other to the core.
Another "City legend", Frank Lampard.
Utd legend - Michael Owen.
Top stuff cole
His career stat were pretty awesome!! Of note is his mid-season transfer to at the time First division side Newcastle where he scored 12 in 12 helping NUFC win the 1st div and gain promotion to the Premier league. Next season he scores 34 prem goals in 40 games in first full season in Prem - now that is hitting the ground running!!
such a pro great player
Andy we love you, stay in good health my friend
Andy Cole was prolific, scored so many goals for Newc/Man Utd, oldskool ledge, hard to buy in champ man lol
Arsenal should never had let that boy go.
Andy Cole one of the best strikers ever!! Anyone else agree?
Should of had more England caps
*Never understood why Steve Bruce never got a chance for England.*
That's England for you mate.. and they wondered why they can't do well in tournaments. Smh
From what I hear, it's a hear breaking story. Two lads from the N.East, Bobby Robson & S.Bruce never saw eye to eye. It's as simple as that.
Bobby left after the 90 World Cup though, Bruce had another 5 years to get picked.
My favourite Stricker of all times
Outstanding
187 goals that's murder in police code and tbf he was a killer in front of goal
A 187 on an Undercover cop 😮 Deep Cover- Classic movie Classic Soundtrack Snoop Doggy Dogg Woo woo woo 🙌
15 caps? that is beyond crazy.
Such a lethal partnership him and yorke. Never really see that these days
Andy king cole👌
Title question not included in that video. Thanks, lads. Sky's all about pulling in eyes, isn't it ?
There was a stigma with being a United player when it came to England. If that sounds ridiculous and childish then that's because it was. United players felt a bit disconnected because they would be treated differently, almost as if England fans didn't want to like them.
Andy Cole did not get a call-up for England for World Cup 98 because he wasn't even a contender. The following year he won the Champions League, scoring away at Barcelona, Juventus etc. A joke situation.
Man's gotta pay his rents
Like urself
How he had 15 caps i do not know !!
He existed in the same era as Shearer, Wright, Ferdinand, Collymore, Sheringham, Fowler & Owen. Managers were spoilt for choice
mediacenter man Dion Dublin was also scoring for fun around that time.
Your absolutely right. I agree Andrew as he prefers shouldve played for England more.
@@mediacenterman8583 Shearer was only one better than him overall
Third highest prem scorer without taking penalties is ridiculous
Him and fowler were unfortunate not to play more for England
Third highest scorer in Premier League history and didnt take penalties.
Amazing goalscoring record when you consider he didn't take penalties. Often over looked in the list of Premier League greats
Would loved him to say Dziekanowski when playing for Bristol City never hear him mention those days brought from Arsenal where he wasn’t getting played.
Played for Sunderland as well.
Andrew Cole.
Respectfully.
Ian Wright or Andy Cole? Such a tough one tbh and why weren't they picked a lot for England during there careers , okay shearer has to be in the team but these two? Even les Ferdinand?
the one throughline in your statement is that every player rejected by England was apparently black. Hmmm. Im guessing you believe that racism played a part eh? John Barnes got 79 caps for England. Before that, I think it was more about being spoiled for choice.
When he gets the ball he scores a goal Andy Andy Cole....
Legend cole
Black flash! Only replaceable by one man, KING ALAN!!!
Sir Alex can manage any team in any era. It's all about man management, or nowadays, millionaires kids management.
a cole power
Im a liverpool fan i agree man united 99 would easily give city and lfc a run for there money. That midfield giggs scoles keane becks best ever to grace the premier league
Thats as a unit
Lol yet some people say Ronaldo isn’t a united legend because he left for Madrid. Somehow a city player is a united legend
Sam Geee no one says he isnt.
He spent three years at Blackburn and then later went to Burnley. He had a thing for switching to arch rivals.
To be fair that was a loan move so wasn’t really his choice but yh
It’s just business 🤷🏽♂️
Can we have another but with Peter smeichel
Don’t forget the he Bristol City fans, they loved Andy Cole too... still do.
