Just a shame he isn't playing for his boyhood club...

Total crosses 593, succession rate 28%. Perhaps someone should tell him to stop crossing?

Cole doesn't cross a lot simply because he isn't very good at it.

Must be nice for the editors to not have to worry about writing an article when they can just copy and paste the one they used in the leadup to the previous 6 tournaments.

Meh - it'll just get merged back into here.

I actually started as a Liverpool supporter because my dad supported them and I hero-worshipped Robbie Fowler. He was another left-footer and I loved him. I'd go back to school and every time we played I'd pretend I was Fowler.

I was only young, though, and I didn't like the hustle and bustle of the stands. I lost interest in Liverpool, but I still loved watching football. I was at the 1995 FA Cup final [when Everton beat Manchester United 1-0]. I went through a spell of liking Blackburn Rovers because they had Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton in attack. And then I started watching Everton properly when I was about 14. My mum wouldn't let me go on my own but my cousin was three years older than me so we'd get the bus, 50p from Kirkby, and then hang around outside until we could sneak in.

*'.....I actually started as a Liverpool supporter because my dad supported them....' *

So 'cos my first ever match was at Anfield cos my Dad took me does that make me a Kopite??!

Yes.

No.

Leighton Baines: .... "I was desperate to join Everton....."

He supported the team his Dad supported (like a sheep). Then picked the shitter team. And also stole from them (watched them for free).

So, my lad might start supporting the team his Dad supports(Everton) then pick the local shitter team - Arsenal?

Not Arsenal, as they are clearly superior to Everton.

I had one of each - both boys started out supporting Leicester, Alfie became a gooner, Vince still follows the Foxes. Both go to games, but Vince does home and away.
