On this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast we are joined by Andrew Cole. Cole is an iconic player of the Premier League era, coming to prominence in 1993-94 when he scored 34 league goals for Newcastle United. He later joined Manchester United where he collected three consecutive 20-goal seasons from 1997-98 through 1999-2000, playing an integral part in United’s treble winning season in 1998-99.
Andrew joined The Gaffer for this interview, conducted on the ESPN Super Bowl cruise. During the interview, Cole discusses several topics including:
- Who was his footballing hero when he grew up in England,
- The story of how he was discovered by a football scout and joined Arsenal as a youngster,
- How the double winning Manchester United team of 2008 would do against the treble winning team of 1999,
- What the chances are of England winning the World Cup this summer,
- His opinion about Rio Ferdinand being appointed as captain of England,
- And much more.
