Don't even know where to put it, but I think our boy is massively underrated. One of the Prem's best goal scorers ever, 2nd all time after old Shearer I believe, and he scored nearly a hundred goals for us. GOAL KING COLE!

Sorry for being a bit off topic but what year is that jersey from? Because I bought that one on ebay, and if the writing on the top left of the shirt say 1999 Champions League Final Nou Camp etc..?

Not quite sure on this, but if you discount penalties, didn't he have a better goals scored per game ratio than Shearer?

I've heard that as well.
I just don't know why, but the English love harping on about the 1 or 2 trophy winner Shearer, when Cole has/had just as an impressive career. Maybe Cole didn't do it for England, but on a club level Cole's trophies and contributions shit all over Shearer.

Obviously Shearer made the better decison. He wanted to win trophies.
Shearer - 1 Prem
Cole - 5 Prems, 2 FA Cups, 1 European Cup, 1 International Cup, 2 Charity Shields, and a League Cup
Yup Shearer made the better decision.

I found Cole very frustrating the few years with us. He was slow to start and a bit inconsistant. But by 1999 he was truely at his peak especially when he and Yorke had a great understanding between them.

His whole time at United he was at best our third best striker. His goals to shots ratio has to be like 3%.
