Joe Cole

[Blueboy 14]

Is it right that he has been a Chelsea fan since he was a little boy?

Would like to know that !

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

Apparently he used to watch all of the matches in the Shed End.

[Blueboy 14]

Heard that he visited alot of Chelsea matches as a little boy with his dad...

I remember seeing him in a picture when he was young playing football in a man utd shirt.

I wasnt a Fan of any club I just got a Jersey that I could wear while playing soccer. And at that time the the only club i could hear was Man Utd from my frds and I liked the look of their black jersey, I dont know what yr was tht. So I bought it.

I believe I remember someone saying Joe was at a trial that day for a team that wore red. Probably borrowing a friend's shirt, as it looks a little too large for him.

Lmao.. who cares

man-utd were more of a brand than a football club back then, we have caught up though.

i remember having ac milan, juve, inter, barca, madrid shirts as a kid, just for the different colours.

I was flicking through a book called 'The Special Ones' by the Fans which is a Chelsea Book and in it gives interviews with players, amongst others JT and it asks the question who did you support as I child and he said Man U

He even went for trials to Man Utd but was rejected by Fergie. (I think)

OK, i'm just reading his interview and it says that he spent a year between Chelsea and Man U deciding which one to sign for, but deep down he knew all along that he would choose Chelsea.

Why? Wasnt he a fan of Man Utd? Why would he choose Chelsea? From what I read, (long time back) he was either

1. Turned off by the competition at Man Utd and saw a chance at Chelsea.

2. Rejected by Fergie.
