Ashley Cole retires



Everyone in England has this lazy attitude to him being the best left back in the world in his prime, but he wasnt

He was.
Roberto Carlos, Zambrotta

Imagine thinking those were better haha. The former couldn't defend to save his life truth be told and lived off that free kick.

If you'd said Lahm you might have at least been taken seriously.
Total prick but one of the best, if not the best, left backs this country has produced in my lifetime

Definitely the best English left back of the last 40 years.

Ronaldo in his pocket every time.

If cole had been brazilian he would have got abput 15 caps.
Imagine thinking roberto carlos lived his career of 1 free kick, given he played 400 odd times for real madrid. Aye but your right he only got picked because of one free kick

No, he got picked because like Brazil Madrid rarely had to defend, so he'd spend most of the game going forward, which was his strength. Cole was a much better defender, absolute fact. Ronnie couldn't do a thing with him.

But a left backs job isnt just to defend. Carlos was a better defender than cole was at going forward, therefore roberto carlos is by dar the superior left back
