Andy Cole
Criminally underrated at the time. One of my favourite United strikers. Was ahead of his time the way he ran the lines and the other work he did. Combination with Yorky obvs. Great finisher. One of my favourite goals in final league game against spurs 99. Having a hard time of it currently

I loved him for how he developed his game. He seemed lost when he first came but he grew into the club and his role.
You've gotta love him for his work rate and his selflessness as he developed.... but I always felt things came harder for him than other strikers. He often seemed uncomfortable or off balance, shots would bobble in sometimes. He seemed like someone who always had to work at it. Compared to someone like, say, Ruud, who was just a natural £#%&!ing beast of a finisher. Perhaps I'm being unfair, but it was always a gut feeling...... didn't stop me loving in during that 96-99 period. It meant he put the team first too. Someone like Shearer was a better finisher, but it was always all about him. Cole never took pens, never took the limelight. Team player. Helped by the fact that the ABUs thought he was shit. Loves United too |

One of our best players of the last twenty years, there is nqat. I've met him a few times too out here and he's a lovely bloke to boot.
I was in Alder Hey when he signed and I made a poster by taking a Giggs poster and replacing the head with Cole's, all from SHOOT. It was by my hospital bed when Dave Watson came over to me and sat for nearly two hours with me talking about him and various other football stuff. It was a great day. |

Same. If the likes of Gianfranco £#%&!ing Zola done that we'd never have heard the end of it. Sublime goal. Absolute top red was big Andy. Hope things start picking up for him |

Divided alot of fans from 1995-1998
With his hefty price tag was made scapegoat by the media after Upton Park '95 and was ridiculed at every opportunity by his critics. I loved him, (even though I wanted Shearer signed in '96 to play up top with Eric) Improved his game every year which was very satisfying to watch. Terrific attitude on the pitch. Good team player, excellent movement and sharp in front of goal...so many great memories |
