Ashley Cole Inducted Into Premier League Hall Of Fame
Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender, Ashley Cole has been inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
The former England international, widely regarded as the best left-back in Premier League history, won a total of three titles across a 15-year career in the top-flight.
Cole, the 22nd inductee into the Hall of Fame, was part of Arsenal’s famous Invincibles that won the title in 2003/04, still the only side in league history to go unbeaten for a whole season.
Having come through Arsenal’s academy, Cole signed for Chelsea in 2006 and won his third Premier League title in 2009/10 as Carlo Ancelotti’s side scored a then-record 103 goals.
“I’m honoured to join the Premier League Hall of Fame. It’s humbling and fulfilling to be rewarded at the end of your career,” said Cole.
“I went through my career just trying to give my best and be good enough. You take it day by day and game by game. As a young kid, you never dream of any of this and you just do it for the love of the game of football.
“I played for some fantastic clubs with incredible fans. Winning trophies with my boyhood club Arsenal and with Chelsea are amazing memories that will always be with me.
