Andy Cole

[Zippity]

Just been listening to him on 5Live.

He was some striker for us, like. That season with Beardsley he looked like he would score or at least have a decent effort every time he got the ball. Even though he says Man u made him a better all-round player, I still think we saw the best of him as an out and out striker. Lethal, he was.

Mind, a couple of seasons after he left, he was walking round round the Wembley pitch singing the 'cheer up Kevin Keegan' song-what a little shite. Sad bastards weren't even playing us.

Anyway. There you go.

His son is pretty decen striker as well in lower leagues.

Plays for Wigan at minute i think, should be in championship with them next season.

Wonder if there'll be another 'Cole', as in-a 2nd tier striker who becomes an instant success (to the extent that Cole did).

Would probably have to be a similar scenario, i.e. gets promoted or is bought by a newly promoted team.

If he carries on scoring, can't see why a side wouldn't take a punt.

They'll never be another 'Cole' like the original though.

Not very classy (when it was Keegan who brought him into the big time).

Exactly, man. Enjoy the win, don't act like a cunt. Simple.

That season 93/94 was the best one imo. New to the Premiership, the shyte times still in memory and tearing teams apart. And as for sheer excitement and goal poaching I think Cole is the best we have had. The excitement going to the match and in the City on a Saturday night especially in the Bigg Market will NEVER be bettered. If I had to choose Cole would be my favourite, loved the t-shirts 'lean mean goal machine' and the picture of him with his right arm aloft. Superb times.

[Zippity]

Aye, that first season back, man...

Nothing was expected of us and we hit it like a fucking train!

[AP69]

It will always be the Leicester 7-1
The ground was at 1 that day
Two open ends but the noise we made with the Andy Cole song
25 frickin years man

One club

[AP69]

Mebbe Villa when he broke the record but that day in May 93

I hope my son has a day like it
