The days when he played with freedom before it was coached out of him. What a player

What a wizard that kid was. Used to stand in the Trevor Brooking Lower behind the goal with a smile and a tear every time he got on the ball and ran at defences 🫶COYI

Most flair of any english player i've seen

Viera shook his hand at half time when Joe played centre mid for West Ham and bossed it . Mourinhio stuck him at wide and made him run up and down the flanks . What a waste

Joe Cole could have been the best player in the world I am amazed Alex Ferguson never bought him and he was wasted at England hew should have played behind the front 2 an attacking midfielder he is the most underrated player

Shocking watching this. I rember him at Chelsea but he didn't have the blistering pace to be a winger, as a CAM he is unlocking defences here. What England needed at tournaments, not guys hammering it into bodies from outside the box. Was so predictable. Should have gone to a top Spanish side or Italian side. Thankfully players like this today are utilised. I think Jude Bellingham is somewhat similar though he is taller and more powerful. Joe Cole reminds me a bit of Iniesta but he was better at short passing. Cole kind of seems unique, especially for English talent at the time. Amazing dribbling and skills.

Favorite player growing up, none of my yank coaches knew him lol

He received no protection at West Ham. Repeatedly hacked, chopped at, kicked, tripped - often in the box - but because he was tricky the refs seemed to feel he somehow deserved it. 10 or so years later the game had evolved, but Coles legs had been sapped by a decade of playing out of position, running up blind alleys for Chelsea. His skills never matured. The boyish excitement of an 18 year old mugging off Keane needed to become much more and I don't think he ever really found a team to support him to achieve his best.

He'd have done well to go to Italy or Spain, learn from players who specialise in retaining the ball.

Can you imagine if Cole, lampard, Carrick, ferdinand and Defoe stayed

Does anyone ever remember seeing a skill highlight of Joe Cole where he essentially did the skill that Berbatov was ironically famous for performing against West Ham in 2008? I can't find a clip anywhere but I know it happened.

Joe Cole is a version of Hazard with less powerful, but what player !

Remember the goal he scored for England against Sweden chest knee and bang with the right foot over the goalie

It's a shame Chelsea completely changed his style of play. Would've been better going to United or Arsenal. Sir Alex or Wenger would've embraced his talent instead of turning him into a standard winger who just looks to cross the ball for a Drogba.
