253. Ashley Cole

Ashley Cole - 290.22 Performance Pts

Born: 20/12/1980    Stepney, England                       

Position: Full Back     Height: 1.76m    Weight: 66kg

After a loan spell at Crystal Palace early in his career, Cole established himself in the Arsenal side at the turn of the century and won 2 League titles with The Gunners before his acrimonious transfer to Chelsea in 2006. The transfer saga earned him the nickname 'Cashley'. His outstanding fitness, and ability to combine the defensive and attacking aspects of his full-back role, identify him as one of the great players of the modern era, and he was rewarded with over 100 England caps. He holds the record for the number of FA Cup winners' medals (seven - 3 with Arsenal and 4 with Chelsea), which includes 2 'Doubles'. He accidentally shot a work experience student with an air-rifle at Chelsea's training ground in 2011, and dismissed the incident as 'just bants'. His relationship with Cheryl from Girls Aloud ensured that he was tabloid fodder for a while.
