There are few complaints about this – he is a highly qualified operator.
Ashley Cole became the first player inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2024 and the 20th inductee since the launch of the Hall of Fame in 2021.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea star becomes the fourth defender to be inducted into the league's Hall of Fame. He played 385 Premier League games over 15 seasons and won the league title on three separate occasions (twice with Arsenal and once with Chelsea).
Cole retired in 2019 after finishing his career with Frank Lampard at Roma, LA Galaxy and Derby County, having made 107 appearances for England. During his career he was named in the PFA Premier League XI four times.
