Joseph John Cole (born 8 November 1981) is an English football coach and former professionalfootballer who played as anattacking midfielder orwinger. He is regarded by some commentators as one of the most talented English players of his generation and one of the most technically gifted English players of all time.[5][6][7][8]
Cole started his career withWest Ham United, where, after breaking into the first team in January 1999, he played more than 120Premier League games over five seasons. He was one of a number of players who left West Ham in the summer of 2003, after the club had been relegated to theFootball League First Division, with Cole signing forChelsea. He spent seven seasons at Chelsea, playing over 280 games in all competitions and winning seven trophies, including threePremier League titles, twoFA Cups and aLeague Cup. He left Chelsea on a free transfer in July 2010 to joinLiverpool, who a year later loaned him toLille. After a season in France, he returned to Liverpool before re-joining West Ham in January 2013. He signed forAston Villa in June 2014, then joinedCoventry City on loan in October 2015, joining on a permanent deal in January 2016. This was to be his last club in England.
Capped by England atunder-16,under-18 andunder-21 level, Cole was a full international between 2001 and 2010, capped by theEngland national team on 56 occasions, scoring 10 goals. He was selected for the England squad at the2002,2006 and2010 World Cups andEuro 2004.
After retirement in 2018, Cole took up a coaching role at Chelsea.[9] He is currently apundit onTNT Sports.[10]
Cole was born Joseph Rooks inPaddington, London,[3][11][12] and lived there until he moved toSomers Town at the age of six.[13]
Cole is a product of theWest Ham United youth system. He was long touted as achild prodigy and as the hottest prospect in English football, withManchester United reportedly offering to pay £10 million for his services as a 16-year-old. Playing in a mould similar to former England favouritePaul Gascoigne, he progressed through the West Ham ranks and signed professional terms in November 1998[14] before making his first-team debut aged 17 on 2 January 1999 in anFA Cup third round tie againstSwansea City. Eight days later he made hisPremier League debut, away to Manchester United.[15] In 1999, Cole was part of West Ham's victoriousFA Youth Cup-winning squad (alongsideMichael Carrick), defeatingCoventry City 9–0 on aggregate in the final.[16] Cole played only eight Premier League games inhis first season but inthe following season, he made 22 Premier League appearances, was a member of the West Ham team which won the1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup, scored his first goal for West Ham, in a 3–2League Cup win atBirmingham City on 30 November 1999 and scored his first Premier League goal, in a 5–4 home win againstBradford City, on 12 February 2000.[15][17] In January 2003, then West Ham managerGlenn Roeder gave Cole the club captain's armband at the age of 21.[18] Cole's last game for West Ham came on 11 May 2003 in a 2–2 draw with Birmingham City, a game which saw West Ham relegated from the Premier League.[19] Cole won the "Hammer of the Year award" for 2003.
On 6 August 2003, Cole signed forChelsea for a fee of £6.6 million after he had rejected a new contract with West Ham. He was the sixth player signed after the club's takeover by billionaireRoman Abramovich, amongst those was his former West Ham teammateGlen Johnson. ManagerClaudio Ranieri saw Cole as the perfect replacement forGianfranco Zola, whom the club had released earlier that year, and West Ham declared that the transfer was enough for them not to sell any more players that summer.[20]
A week after signing for the club, Cole made his debut in aUEFA Champions League qualifier away toMŠK Žilina. He came on as a substitute for fellow new signingDamien Duff with 21 minutes remaining and causedMichal Drahno to score an own goal to conclude a 2–0 victory.[21] On 17 August, he played his first Premier League game for the club, again replacing Duff for the last 15 minutes in a 2–1 victory overLiverpool atAnfield.[22] He scored his first goal on 29 October in theLeague Cup againstNotts County, replacingJesper Grønkjær in the 70th minute and netting the last goal in a 4–2 victory which put Chelsea into the last 16.[23] On 17 December, in the next round, he started away toAston Villa, finishingHernán Crespo's cross to equalise in an eventual 1–2 defeat.[24] Cole's only other goal of the season was his only one in the league campaign, ending a one-two withFrank Lampard to open the scoring after five minutes away toNewcastle United, albeit in a 1–2 defeat.[25]
Cole took advantage of injuries to wingers Duff andArjen Robben to become a regular member of Chelsea's Premier League title winning team in2004–05. He started in theLeague Cup Final at theMillennium Stadium on 27 February, making way for Johnson after 81 minutes of an eventual 3–2 win after extra time against Liverpool.[26] His form saw him hit a run of goals towards the end of the season, and he scored a goal on 9 March againstNorwich City blasted in from 20 yards off his weaker left foot[27] Cole scored ten goals for Chelsea in 2004–05 and ended the season with a Premier League champions' medal.[28]
In the first half of the2005–06 season, Cole secured himself in the Chelsea first-team lineup, ahead ofShaun Wright-Phillips and Damien Duff. Cole also extended his contract with Chelsea for another four seasons.[29] He ended his season by scoring one of the goals in Chelsea's 3–0 win over Manchester United, which earned the Premier League title for the team.[30] He was subsequently named in thePFA Team of the Year.[28]
